Covid-19: Everything we know about the Northland community case

International travel and managed isolation
The woman departed New Zealand late last year and travelled through Spain and the Netherlands. While she was in the Netherlands she was in contact with family members who later tested positive for the virus.
She departed London, travelling via Singapore, and arrived in Auckland on December 30.
The woman completed her two-week stint in managed isolation at the Pullman Hotel in Auckland. During this time, she was tested twice – on January 2 and January 10 – and both tests returned negative results.
This woman was given the all clear and left the facility on January 13.
There were around 600 guests at the hotel at the same time as this woman. Around 13 people tested positive during that time, some with the more virulent strain.
