Additional information about the journey between Auckland and Wellington taken by two New Zealanders with COVID-19 who returned to New Zealand to see their dying parent has been confirmed.
Upon leaving the Novotel in a private vehicle provided by friends, the women got lost on the Auckland motorway system. On realising this they phoned the same friends who supplied the vehicle, who met and guided them to the correct motorway so they could go in the right direction.
As part of this the pair were in limited physical contact with the two friends for approximately five minutes. These two people have been contacted by local health authorities for a health check.
