The Auckland Mayor Phil Goff doesn't think prosecuting those rule breakers in the Papatoetoe covid cluster would achieve much.
The mother of the latest community cases had gone for a walk with the mother of another family identified in the cluster during Alert Level 3.
The Police says they've not begun an investigation into the rule breach.
They'd need information referred to them from the Ministry of Health, which they have not yet received.
Phil Goff told political reporter Charlie Dreaver the Covid-19 response relies on high trust but he admits there might be times that is not enough.
