Two Aucklanders are being treated as confirmed community Covid-19 cases by the Ministry of Health.
In a statement late last night, Director-General of Health Dr Ashley Bloomfield said it was likely the pair contracted the virus at their managed isolation facility, Auckland's Pullman Hotel - the same facility where it is believed the 56-year-old Northland woman contracted the virus on Saturday, causing mass testing in the region.

Coronavirus found in sewage in Queensland as Australia put on alert over New Zealand outbreak

Queensland has been put on high alert after coronavirus was found in sewage at a string of wastewater treatment plants, including three in Brisbane.
Viral fragments of the virus were detected at facilities in the state capital, as well as those servicing Hervey Bay - such as one in Maryborough.
In total, seven plants showed evidence of the virus - Caboolture South, Oxley Creek, Bundamba, Gibson Island, Luggage Point, Maryborough and Pulgul.
While it is not unexpected for the virus to be detected in Brisbane's waters, due to infections in hotel quarantine, the other plants are a cause for concern.

A popular Whangārei flautist banned from his regular busking patch, brought festive musical cheer to rest home residents this week.
Darius Martin-Baker, 17, had the wind knocked from his sails when he was asked to leave his regular busking patch mid-song when a security guard pointed out new "No Busking" signs outside Countdown Whangārei last month.
