From Checkpoint, 5:06 pm on 9 September 2020

There are six new cases in the community, all linked to the Mt Roskill Evangelical Church.

There are now 43 cases linked to the church - it's the seventh largest cluster since the pandemic began.

It's also been revealed some members held a meeting during level three that police had to disperse.

Now there are another 22 cases linked to what the ministry calls "bereavement activities" - they went to a house, or a funeral - where the virus spread.
