Thirty-two people in New Zealand have been advised to isolate at home and continue to isolate until they get a negative result at the day-five test, after the green-zone at Brisbane Airport was breached by a person with Covid-19. So far, 22 of these people have returned a negative test. The risk from this event continues to be assessed as low, the ministry said. The three new cases were in people who travelled from the United Arab Emirates, and the United States. The government also announced on Wednesday there would be no change to the trans-Tasman bubble, after a Sydney man tested positive for Covid-19.
