There is one new case of COVID-19 to report in New Zealand – the worker at the Auckland quarantine facility announced by the Ministry on Friday night.
In addition to the new case, there is one historical case being added to New Zealand’s total case numbers. The historical case is a recent returnee who arrived in New Zealand on 5 October from London via Singapore.
Upon arrival at their managed isolation facility they alerted staff to their previous positive test which was confirmed in London on 19 September.
They were tested again and returned a positive result on 5 October, with a high CT value indicating an old infection, consistent with this earlier positive result.
