There are four new community cases of Covid-19 all linked to the case announced yesterday -- and it is the Delta strain.
Yesterday afternoon, the Prime Minister put the country into a Level 4 lockdown, following the positive Covid result of a man in Devonport, Auckland, who had also travelled to Coromandel township.
This morning the Prime Minister confirmed four of his close contacts have returned positive tests - including a nurse who works at Auckland Hospital.
Internal lockdown measures are now under way at the hospital.
