Update on the border-related positive COVID-19 case
Yesterday we reported a new border-related COVID-19 case in a worker at the Grand Millennium managed isolation facility.
There are no new positive cases from contacts of this case. Ten close contacts have been identified. All have been
contacted and are self isolating. Five have returned negative test results and we are awaiting further results.
The worker returned a positive swab after being tested on Tuesday. A second test result yesterday also returned a
positive result.
This person has been transferred to the Auckland quarantine facility.
Case investigations continue. Auckland public health officials have carried out scoping interviews with the case to
determine any locations of interest. At this stage, there are no locations of interest to report. If any locations of
interest are identified, we will update the Ministry's website and send out push notifications.
