Today there are two new confirmed cases of COVID-19 to report in managed isolation facilities in New Zealand. As with the five other cases reported in recent days, these two cases were recent arrivals from overseas and both were detected within our managed isolation facilities.
Neither involves community transmission. Today’s first case is the young child of the couple announced yesterday as cases who have recently arrived from India.
We are pleased to report that all family members are doing well at the Jet Park Hotel, the quarantine facility in Auckland. We will not be providing exact details of the child’s age but can say they are under two years old.
