All close contacts are self-isolating. The number of workplace contacts was likely to rise, McElnay said, as officials work to determine who was a close contact from their interactions. McElnay said while the worker had been infectious during three work shifts there was no additional risk to any passengers who travelled on planes which had been cleaned by the worker. On Tuesday it was announced that the border worker, a fully vaccinated cleaner at Auckland Airport, had tested positive for the virus. Genome sequencing linked the case to a passenger who arrived on April 10, and it was identified to be the UK variant of the virus.

More frequent border testing and a stand-down period before cleaners can board an international flight after it lands are being mooted as further layers of protection against Covid-19.
The suggestions follow the case of the Auckland airport worker, who appears to have caught the virus after cleaning a plane that arrived on April 10 with a passenger who later tested positive.
An investigation is underway into how the cleaner became infected, and it remains unclear whether they had any person-to-person contact with any of the passengers. It s a huge challenge to figure out how they got infected because they were doing all the right things with PPE and being vaccinated, Otago University epidemiologist Professor Michael Baker said.
