The cases were detected during routine isolation and testing processes and are now at the Auckland quarantine facility.

The ministry is continuing to work with its Japanese counterparts regarding a New Zealand child who returned a weak positive Covid-19 test after their arrival in Japan on 23 October.
Further testing of the child, their household and contacts have all revealed negative test results.
It has been determined that it was not the result of a recent Covid-19 infection. There is no ongoing risk for New Zealand and the case is now closed.
