Wellingtonians are being urged to remain vigilant

There are 377 contacts of the Covid-19-positive Australian traveller who visited Wellington who still need to be tested or are awaiting their test results.

The partner of the tourist has tested positive after initially testing negative -- meaning they may have been infectious while in New Zealand.

Wellington will remain in Alert Level Two for another 48 hours -- until 11.59 Tuesday night.

Officials want to see more people getting tested as only 676 tests were processed yesterday in the Wellington region.

Covid-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins says that's is relatively low.

He says community testing stations are reporting things have been quiet both yesterday and today, so he's encouraging more Wellingtonians to come forward to get those numbers up.
