Three new cases of Covid-19 have been recorded in the community today and the question now is are they part of a new cluster of the coronavirus in Auckland because they are not connected to the existing cluster.

The three new cases sat near a man on a charter flight from Christchurch to Auckland, and he is now known to have Covid-19 having tested positive after leaving managed isolation.

Karyn speaks with Professor Shaun Hendy who is leading the team that's modelling the scenarios for how Covid-19 might spread in New Zealand.
