APRIL AIRPORT CASE UPDATE

Following interviews with the person who has today returned a positive test for COVID-19, the Ministry of Health believes there is a clear link to the border as the source of the infection.

The person who has tested positive for COVID-19 works as a cleaner at Auckland International Airport, cleaning planes that have flown internationally from countries where COVID-19 is widespread.

The person has been regularly tested every week for COVID-19 as part of routine surveillance testing. They were tested yesterday at their workplace as part of this, and that test came back as positive today. Their previous tests were all negative.

COVID-19 update

Today the Government has announced we are temporarily suspending entry into New Zealand for travellers from India. This will take effect from 4pm on 11 April and remain in place until 28 April.

While New Zealand continues to enjoy effective elimination of COVID with no community transmission, the same is not true of the rest of the world.

The World Health Organisation global reporting shows that in just the last month cases of the virus have been on the rise again internationally after falling steadily over January and February, with surges in cases particularly in Brazil and India.

COVID-19 UPDATE

There is one new border-related positive COVID-19 case, in a worker at the Grand Millennium managed isolation facility.

The worker returned a positive swab after being tested on Tuesday.

The person returned high CT values which can mean it is either early on in their infection, nearing the end, or the case is historical. An urgent repeat test is being carried out today to give health officials a better understanding of this person’s infection.

Whole Genome Sequencing will be carried out.

The case lives alone and travels to work with a colleague. The case’s colleague has been informed they are a close contact, is self-isolating at home and will be tested today.
