There were four new Covid-19 cases found at the border over the past two days, the Ministry of Health says.
Meanwhile, there were no new cases in the community today.
Two of today's new cases arrived in the country on April 25 from Japan, with one being a historical case who tested positive on arrival. The other person, who was a contact of a case, tested positive on day five.
Two others cases arrived in the country from Qatar via Australia on April 27, where they tested positive on day three.
One case arrived from Pakistan via the United Arab Emirates on April 30, where they tested positive on arrival.
All of today's new cases have since been transferred to the Auckland and Christchurch quarantine facilities.
Meanwhile, four previously reported cases have recovered, bringing the total number of active cases in New Zealand today to 24.
The total number of confirmed cases in new Zealand since the pandemic began remains at 2262.
Today's update comes after flights from Perth to New Zealand were suspended following the announcement yesterday of three new Covid-19 community cases across the ditch - a security guard at a Perth quarantine facility and two household contacts.
Brisbane Airport breach
Meanwhile, contact tracing teams have identified 397 passengers aboard three flights which left Brisbane International Airport after a green zone breach on Thursday, the Ministry of Health said.
Two travellers from red zone countries had mingled with some green zone passengers on three flights to New Zealand, one of which returned a positive Covid-19 test last week.
However, the ministry said all but two passengers on the New Zealand flights had been contacted and asked to check the Queensland Government website for locations of interest. Attempts to contact the remaining two are continuing today.
To date, 27 people have been in touch with Healthline to say they were in the locations of interest - a coffee shop and public toilet - at the relevant time. Those people are considered casual plus contacts and have been asked to self-isolate and get tested five days after their exposure.
The remaining passengers who weren’t at the locations of interest are advised to monitor their health and if symptoms develop, call Healthline and get a test.
"The risk from this event continues to be assessed as low," the ministry said.
Since the pandemic began, the total number of tests processed by laboratories in New Zealand is now 2.02 million.
On Friday, 4843 tests were processed and 3,257 were processed yesterday.
The NZ Covid Tracer app now has 2.8 million registered users.
Today's update was provided by the Ministry of Health in a press release this afternoon.
