There have been 983 breaches under alert level 2, police say.
In this afternoon's Covid-19 briefing, Police Commissioner Andrew Coster said police are getting 200-250 reports of possible breaches a day.
However he said the number of reports to police under alert level 2 has significantly dropped from level 3, which was between 700-1000 reports a day.
He said a number of the complaints received were related to retail businesses not having contact tracing systems.
Retailers have been able to reopen under a number of guidelines, but the transition wasn't as smooth as some businesses would have liked.
Coster reiterated that retailers did not need to have contact tracing for shoppers, but did need it for employees.
There were 30 breaches for house parties/gatherings on the weekend, 29 were given warnings, one was prosecuted.
In Dunedin, police broke up several parties in the city's student quarter which were flouting level 2 rules on Saturday night. On the same night two males were seen lighting a couch on fire in the middle of Leith St.
