An Auckland woman who died from typhoid last week attended a church group that met at a local primary school for their services.

Today, the head of Wesley Primary School reassured that students were not at risk.

Principal Brenda Martin said in a statement this afternoon; "We have just learnt that the woman tragically lost to typhoid was a member of the Samoan Assembly of God [church] that meets in our school hall at weekends.

I must emphasise the advice from Auckland Regional Public Health Service that there is almost no risk that this has spread any further and school will be open as usual tomorrow.''

"The well-being of our students is our top priority and we'll keep you informed of any new developments.''

Martin said the school only confirmed the woman had been part of the church group that met at their school today.

It came after members of the ARPHS told the school that that was not the case and that she had been with another church group.

News that the woman was part of this particular church community comes after the ARPHS yesterday announced the woman was a member of the Mt Roskill Samoan Assembly of God Church.

This has caused some confusion among the local and wider community, as well as the Samoan community, as there are several Samoan Assembly of God church branches within the Mt Roskill area.
