    New Zealand has three new community cases

    New Zealand has three new community cases


    There is one more in managed isolation

    The community infections are a mother, father and daughter in the same Papatoetoe

    Health Minister Chris Hipkins says they expect to provide more information later today.

    Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is returning to Wellington this afternoon.

    She was meant to attend Auckland's Big Gay Out today.

    Hipkins says there's no such thing as 'no risk' -- so they need to respond quickly

    Director-General of Health Dr Ashley Bloomfield says the mother works at an airport laundering and catering business.

    When she and her daughter started getting Covid symptoms -- they isolated immediately and sought a test.

    Bloomfield says they don't think she was at work while infectious, given her last day on the job was February 5.

    The daughter is a student at Papatoetoe High School -- which will be closed tomorrow and Tuesday.

    Students and staff are to isolate immediately and there will be a testing site set up at the school.

    Pak n Save Manukau is also considered a location of interest -- two of the cases visited the store briefly for 10 minutes last Friday 3.45-5pm.

    Anyone who visited the store then is asked to self-isolate until they get a negative test.
