Director of Public Health Dr Caroline McElnay says, “We acknowledge today’s
numbers are higher than recent days. This is not unexpected because there
have been a number of contacts of new cases and we can expect to get
fluctuations from day to day.”

Waikato update
The three new cases in Waikato are all linked and contacts of existing cases.
Interviews are continuing to determine any further contacts or locations of
interest.
There continues to be a strong response to calls for testing in Waikato with
5,180 swabs taken yesterday. There are seven pop up testing sites operating
today at Claudelands, Te Rapa, Karapiro, Raglan, Huntly, Kawhia and Tokoroa,
with extended hours to cater for demand. The existing testing centre at
Founders Theatre is also open.
Further details on exact locations and hours of testing sites are available
on the Healthpoint and Waikato DHB sites.
The Ministry of Health urges anyone in the Waikato with any symptoms that
could be COVID-19 to get a test.
Waikato turned out in record numbers yesterday to get vaccinated with 10,397
doses given, with large increases seen in rural areas. This equates to a 4
per cent increase in first doses across the Waikato in one day. 77% of people
in the Waikato have now received their first dose and 52% are fully
vaccinated. A big thank you to everyone who came forward.
Alert levels for the whole of the Waikato will be reviewed again on Monday.
Update on Auckland case who travelled to Northland
昨天新聞稿：https://bit.ly/3mEllPZ
有個奧克蘭活動史的確診者足跡經過北地區。
這位病患一採弱陽，二採強陽確診。(剛發病)
The case reported last night, who recently travelled to Northland, was last
night transferred to an Auckland quarantine facility, under strict infection
prevention and control procedures, including the use of full PPE.
The case was under investigation after returning a weak positive result from
a test in Whangarei earlier this week and yesterday returned a positive test
result in Auckland.
Public health staff are continuing investigations to identify whether there
are any locations of interest or exposure events associated with the case.
In some instances, a location of interest may not be listed on our website.
This doesn’t mean no actions have been taken around tracing the movements of
a case. The focus of publishing locations of interest is on locations where
contact tracers don’t have a good idea of who was there at the relevant
time, like bars and supermarkets.
For some locations of interest, like personal appointments, we have a good
understanding of who was there at the relevant time and an effective means of
contacting those people via existing communication channels and networks.
These situations are closely managed by contact tracers, who may determine
that the location does not need to be added to the list published online.
Contact tracers are often dealing with people who are stressed and some
people can find it difficult to recall where they’ve been, when they are
under pressure.
Locations of interest are added to the Ministry’s website as quickly as
possible. We ask people to check these regularly, especially if you have
visited, or live in Auckland, Waikato or Northland.
Possible exposure event at Middlemore Hospital
(責任醫院的Middlemore Hospital出現確診者足跡
有確診者10/4跟10/7跑了兩次急診，第二次急診後隔離確診)
Counties Manukau DHB has advised the Ministry of Health of two possible
COVID-19 exposure events at Middlemore Hospital, both from the same patient.
On Monday 4 October the patient presented to the Emergency Department for a
non-COVID related issue where they stayed until they were assessed and
discharged. They answered no to all screening questions and were asymptomatic.
The patient again presented to ED on Thursday, 7 October.
Following discussion with medical staff, the patient was isolated, tested and
moved to a negative pressure room. They subsequently returned a positive
result.
Although asymptomatic on their first visit (Monday, 4 October) ARPHS has
determined that their infectious period encompasses this date and as such are
acting out of an abundance of caution in identifying potential contacts.
As of this morning 42 patients and 18 visitors have been identified as
contacts.
No staff are required to stand down as they were wearing the appropriate PPE.
While there have been a number of exposure events at Middlemore, this is not
unexpected as there are a number of subclusters in South Auckland, for which
Middlemore is the local hospital.

Next update
The Ministry’s updates over the weekend will be via media releases, unless
there are any significant developments.
At this stage, the next press conference is scheduled for Monday, 11 October.
