Health New Zealand say there are no new measles cases since the original case notified on 10 May.

That person was no longer infectious and was now out of isolation with no new locations of interest at this time, Health New Zealand's public health medicine specialist Dr Matt Reid said.

"As noted in Friday's update, the 19 people undergoing serology testing were included in the 78 people in quarantine at the time.

"While we don't as a rule comment on an individual's immunity status, anyone not considered immune has been offered vaccination once quarantine has been completed.

"As of 9am today, 36 out of the 78 contacts referred to on Friday remain in quarantine, with the majority of these expected to be released on Wednesday (21/5). All others have been released," he said.

Reid said a further update would be provided later this week.
