Today there are three new confirmed cases of COVID-19 to report in New Zealand – one of these is an imported case detected in a managed isolation facility. Two are community cases.
Both community cases have been epidemiologically linked to the wider Auckland August cluster. One case has been linked as a close contact to the Americold household sub-cluster and the other is a close contact of a confirmed case linked to the Mount Roskill Evangelical Church sub-cluster.
The one imported case is a young child linked to a previously identified case who arrived from India on 23 August. As a result, the child was already in quarantine with family members at the Auckland quarantine facility.
