There are four new cases of COVID-19 to report in New Zealand today. Two are community cases linked to the Auckland August cluster and two are imported cases detected at managed isolation facilities.
Of the imported cases, one is a man in his 30s and the other is a woman in her 50s. Both cases arrived in New Zealand on a flight from India on 27 August.
They were in managed isolation in Christchurch and tested positive to day 12 testing. Both cases are now in quarantine. Of our two community cases today, both have epidemiological links to existing cases in the bereavement sub-cluster and back to the Mt Roskill Evangelical Fellowship group.
