Covid 19 coronavirus: One new case in MIQ, one historical case

There is one new case of Covid-19 in managed isolation, the Ministry of Health says.

Health officials have also uncovered a historical case - someone who arrived in February from India at the end of February but was only found to have the disease when tested as part of a job application.

"It's important to reiterate that historical cases are not considered to be infectious," the ministry said.

Meanwhile, investigations are continuing into cases at MIQ facilities at the Grand Mercure and Grand Millennium hotels.

Health officials said yesterday the results from genome sequencing showed a link between two infected returnees at Auckland's Grand Mercure MIQ facility.

The returnees were staying in separate rooms on different floors. They arrived on separate flights within two days of each other.

Today, the ministry said it had been in contact with 233 of 258 people who left the Grand Mercure. They are being re-tested and so far there have been 95 negative results.

The investigation into how a cleaner at the Grand Millennium, referred to as Case A, was exposed to Covid-19 is continuing.

All close and casual contacts of Case A have returned negative initial tests.

"We expect further test results in the coming days," the ministry said.

hose clinics will administer the vaccines.
He said he did not want to get in a position where New Zealand had to scale down its vaccine rollout while it waited for more doses to arrive in New Zealand.
Director-general of health Dr Ashley Bloomfield said the ministry had delivered about 93 per cent of the vaccines it had expected to.
That meant New Zealand was “slightly” behind schedule.
Bloomfield said health officials had “no further leads” about how the Valentine’s Day cluster got into the community.
“We have drawn a blank on it,” he said.
But the Government would continue to look into it and the investigation was not closed.
Changes to MIQ regime
The Government this morning announced it will double the time required to stay in New Zealand before returnees can avoid paying MIQ fees.
And it is making it more expensive for some non-Kiwi partners, children or legal guardians to come to New Zealand.
Currently, any New Zealand citizen or permanent resident returning from overseas who has not been in the country since August 11 last year — and who stays here for 90 days — is not liable to pay charges for the $3100 fee for 14 days in MIQ.
From June 1, returnees will need to stay in New Zealand for at least 180 days.
“This change will support the Government’s aim of making the MIQ system more financially sustainable,” the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, which runs MIQ, said in a statement.
“It is estimated that extending the minimum period to 180 days will affect about 3 per cent of returning New Zealanders.”
On Monday night the Ministry of Health revealed a relative of a Covid-infected cleaner at the Grand Millennium MIQ facility had returned a “weak positive” test for the virus.
The employee, a cleaner, and their immediate household members were isolating at their home in Auckland on Monday night.
Testing shows that person has tested negative for the virus.
The cleaner visited the Mt Roskill Countdown supermarket on Stoddard Rd on Saturday from 3pm to 3.15pm.
The risk was low to the community, Hipkins said.
