Today’s managed isolation case numbers underscore the value of having in place the day 0/1 testing as 13 out of the 17 cases were identified with this testing.
All people arriving in New Zealand must remain in their rooms until those day 0/1 test results come back.

It’s also not uncommon to see some of the day 0/1 cases to be reclassified as historical cases, which are not infectious.
While the number of cases in managed isolation over the last 2 days is higher than in previous days, the average number of cases per day over the past week remains steady at four. Some of these cases are also contacts of known cases.
In addition to day 0/1 testing, in January, the Government announced it was extending pre-departure testing to all passengers to New Zealand except from Australia, Antarctica and most Pacific Islands, as a measure to further strengthen New Zealand’s border response.
