All the test results returned from close and casual contacts of the case announced on Sunday are negative to date.

Testing
Anyone in New Zealand who develops symptoms consistent with COVID-19 should immediately contact their health care provider or Healthline and get tested.
You can get tested at all the normal places you would usually get medical attention.
People can get tested at their GP, or at after hours clinics. Many DHBs still have community-based assessment centres for COVID-19 testing, and some DHBs are also doing pop-up testing.
Locations where you can get a test are available on your DHB website or on the ARPHS website if you are in Auckland. Wherever and whenever you go to get tested, a COVID-19 test is free of charge. Image
