There is also a new site in Wellington, after a second positive test from a construction worker who had travelled to the capital from Auckland.

People who visited Countdown Cable Car Lane in the central city on Tuesday night are being told to self-monitor.

Parram Grocery Store in central Christchurch and Z petrol station on Brougham Street are also locations of interest after they were visited by a Covid-19 case late on Monday morning.

The full list can be found on the Ministry website.
