COVID-19 ALERT LEVEL UPDATE

From 6am tomorrow morning, Auckland will move to Alert Level 3 and the rest of New Zealand will move to Alert Level 2. The measures will remain in place for the next seven days. Image
We have planned for the likelihood of further community outbreaks and have activated our national resurgence plan. We have stamped out the virus before and we can do it again.

COVID-19 UPDATE

There is one new case of COVID-19 in the South Auckland community.
The case is a family member of a student from Papatoetoe High School. That could provide a straightforward explanation for this infection, but in this case it has not

We've noticed a few questions about why we haven't moved up Alert Levels, despite there being new cases in the community this week. Here's a quick explanation.
We moved up Alert Levels on 15 February as the new case could not be clearly linked to the border.
Contact tracers needed time to investigate the source, and to identify close and casual contacts so that they could be tested and, in some cases, isolated.
It became clear there wasn’t widespread transmission and genome sequencing showed the new community cases were all linked to the first cases identified on the weekend of 14 February. This is a lower-risk scenario so we were able to move down to Alert Level 1, where we remain.

COVID-19 Update

Today, 25 February, we have three new cases of COVID-19 in managed isolation, and no new cases linked to the Auckland February cluster.

One of the three cases today in managed isolation today is a historical case and not regarded as infectious. Image
All 11 cases associated with the Auckland February cluster remain in the Auckland quarantine facility.

Genome testing results now available for Case K has shown it to be the B.1.1.7 variant and again very closely related to the genome sequence for Cases A and B.
This provides further reassurance that the cases from the additional household announced on Tuesday have not appeared from elsewhere in the community. All cases that have been sequenced in this cluster are genomically linked & are connected to the cases at Papatoetoe High School.
