There are 35 new community cases today
– all are in the Auckland region.
Of these cases, 14 have known links to existing cases (including four
household contacts) and 21 remain under investigation.
Due to time of reporting, the previously reported case in the Bay of Plenty
region is included in the case tally today, however it is understood to be
under investigation, after a follow-up test returned a negative result
(further details are below).

Bay of Plenty test result confirmed negative
(富饒灣案例判定陰性，原新聞稿連結： https://bit.ly/3FviEZF )
The Ministry of Health can confirm that a follow-up test, for a person
currently in Katikati, in the Bay of Plenty region, returned a negative
result.
While the case remains under investigation, the public health risk is deemed
low given the person’s vaccination status, regular test history, good use of
the NZ COVID Tracer app and rapid contact, testing and isolation of family
members, all of whom also returned negative results.
The Ministry would like to thank the individuals involved for their
cooperation and Toi Te Ora Public Health for their precautionary approach,
taking swift action to ensure public health safety.
North Shore Hospital update

Two staff members have now returned positive results for COVID-19 following a
positive case reported yesterday in a patient receiving treatment in the
dialysis unit(洗腎中心) adjacent to North Shore Hospital.
The connection between the three cases is being investigated.
A number of staff have been stood down initially as a precaution, and all
those staff who have been tested have returned negative results.
The dialysis unit remains open, with measures in place to manage potential
risk to both patients and staff. This includes use of PPE and intensive
cleaning between each group of patients and plans to use a mix of rapid PCR
and rapid antigen testing for staff prior to them starting their shift.

Auckland City Hospital staff member
(醫護的突破性感染?)
Auckland DHB last night informed the Ministry that a fully vaccinated staff
member tested positive for COVID-19 over the weekend.
Auckland City Hospital has now identified all contacts of the staff member,
to carry out testing onsite for staff and patients.
We have been informed this morning that two further hospital staff members
have tested positive. Of the three, two were tested at a community testing
site while one was tested as part of routine workplace surveillance.
Initial investigations have shown there are no links to the NICU parent case.
It’s important to note Auckland City Hospital has Infection, Prevention and
Control protocols in place and unless you’re contacted by public health
staff, patients and whanau who’ve been at the hospital you won’t need to do
anything further.
With more than 12,000 staff, the DHB is one of the biggest employers in
Auckland so it is not unexpected that there will be staff members who acquire
COVID within the community.
Update on Auckland case who travelled to Northland
(全基因定序有點難做但會做出來)
Whole genome sequencing for the Auckland case who travelled to Northland has
been completed on the initial sample, confirming the case is linked to the
Auckland outbreak.
Due to sample quality limitations, whole genome sequencing could not link the
case to a specific cluster, however resampling has been undertaken and ESR
are working to improve the data quality of additional sequencing.
The case remains in an Auckland quarantine facility.
A second person who is thought to have travelled with this case has been
contacted but not yet located.
The case was under investigation after returning a weak positive result from
a test in Whangarei earlier this week and Friday returned a positive test
result in Auckland.
Public health staff continue to work closely with the person to determine any
locations of interest or exposure events associated with the case. There are
currently 21 close contacts associated with this case. The household of the
case and travel companion are included in this number.
As these become available they will be 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.
Anyone in Northland should remain vigilant for symptoms, particularly anyone
who has visited a location of interest or been in an area of interest at the
times specified should get tested and isolate until they receive the result.

Testing and vaccinations
The two best tools we have in the continued fight against COVID-19 are
testing and vaccinations – the numbers for both continue to be high.
