It has since been confirmed as the Delta strain of the virus from NSW in Australia. Tests are underway to establish how it got into the community.

There are a number of locations of interest in Auckland and the Coromandel. The list is expected to grow due to there being confirmed cases of community transmission. Read more about the locations of interest here: www.stuff.co.nz...

Free testing for Covid-19 is available across the region.
