Six new cases have been detected in MIQ, but there are no new community cases.
A border worker has been sacked after a 20-minute encounter in a guest s room at an Auckland MIQ hotel on January 7.
The Northland community case has recovered.
No changes will be made to alert levels as there is no evidence of community transmission. This means Kiwis long weekend plans can go ahead unaffected.
Two people who completed their MIQ in the Pullman Hotel - the same facility as the Northland case - and at the same time as that case are now being treated as confirmed COVID-19 infections. They are a father and daughter.
University of Auckland Professor of Medicines Des Gorman told The AM Show on Friday that the hotels weren t designed for what they are now being used for. They were designed to bring you and I together for social encounters, not to keep us separated and certainly not to stop us spreading around an infectious virus, he said. We are using facilities which are simply unsuitable for purpose
Gorman said New Zealand has done well in its fight against COVID-19, putting its success down to how well we behaved during the first lockdown, the fact we are remote islands at the bottom of south Pacific and spade loads of dumb good luck .
