Te Tai Tokerau is expecting an influx of Aucklanders ahead of Auckland Anniversary weekend and some are nervous, after a local woman tested positive for the South Africa strain of Covid-19 after leaving managed isolation in Auckland.
She caught it from another returnee who was also staying at the Pullman Hotel. On Wednesday it was revealed two more returnees who recently left the Pullman returned positive Covid-19 tests.
"It is yet to be confirmed if they are recent or historic infections. Further urgent testing is being carried out this evening," the Ministry of Health said in a statement on Wednesday evening.
