The Ministry of Health is tonight confirming that three household members of a remand prisoner with COVID-19, who was announced as a case today, have tested positive.
Two of the three household members attend Mangatangi School on the Hauraki Plains. All three positive cases, and an accompanying adult caregiver, are being moved to a quarantine facility.
At least one of the young people was symptomatic at school on Thursday. The school has been closed and parents have been contacted.
Arrangements are being made for the students and their families to be tested. There are nine people in the household. Five others have tested negative and the ninth household member will be tested tomorrow.
