Covid-19: Flights stopped into Grand Millennium while authorities investigate infections - Bloomfield

From Morning Report, 7:11 am on 12 April 2021

A third worker at the Grand Millennium managed isolation facility has tested positive for Covid-19.

They are a close contact of the security guard who returned a positive test last week. Both workers are genomically linked to Case A - a cleaner from the facility who tested positive in March.

The Ministry of Health says the newest case has been isolating at home since their colleague tested positive last week. It says the worker and their partner have been moved to the Jet Park quarantine facility.

There are four new locations of interest connected to the cases, all in Mount Roskill.

Director-General of Health Dr Ashley Bloomfield spoke to Corin Dann.
