EXCLUSIVE: Does OIA evidence confirm possible Air NZ link to recent covid outbreaks?

Finding a recent case in managed isolation and quarantine (MIQ) or elsewhere on the border that matched this cluster lineage would be strong evidence for the border incursion scenario. We haven’t got any such direct evidence – but this doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.
[…]
Extensive testing and contact tracing determined the earliest case found to date was an Americold coolstore worker who first showed symptoms on July 31, and the initial spread of the cluster centred around this coolstore, which imports frozen goods.
Thus, the third hypothesis is that the virus may have been imported on packaging material, where it could have survived in low temperature conditions, and then gone on to infect a worker at the coolstore.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern made the announcement yesterday, from the Beehive.
It came after a fifth consecutive day with no community cases, which means the Auckland February cluster remains at just 15 cases in total. By comparison, the Auckland August cluster had 170 cases.
It means for Auckland retailers and hospitality businesses under level two, they will be able to open their doors to the public, while still keeping limits on how many people are allowed in at one time, and the specific rules which apply to how customers are served.

As Auckland joins the rest of the countrry at alert level 1 a business leader is urging future Covid outbreaks be dealt with "more clinically" - by avoiding the imposition of restrictions on entire regions.
However, Covid-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins maintains the government's approach is necessarily prudent and says populations are too transcient for more localised restrictions to be effective in closing down a virus outbreak.

Auckland will move to alert level 1 at midnight tonight and masks will continue to be mandatory on public transport.
Auckland's latest Covid-19 episode will have proven "frustrating" to many - but the snap lockdown was nonetheless ultimately justified, an expert says.
Scientists today welcomed Cabinet's call to move Auckland to alert level 1, and to require masks on public transport across the whole country, at all alert levels.

However, Covid-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins maintains the government's approach is necessarily prudent and says populations are too transcient for more localised restrictions to be effective in closing down a virus outbreak.
Businesses suffered three days in level 3 lockdown across the Auckland region last week, followed by the weekend's level 2 restrictions, with rules around seated guests in restaurants and large gatherings banned.
The restrictions were prompted after a family in Papatoetoe contracted the virus. No source has been identified.
