Northlanders to find out Alert Level fate today

Northlanders could get a reprieve from Level 4 restrictions later today.

As long as wastewater testing results are negative, the region is expected to shift down to Level 3 Thursday night.

The region has been kept at the same level as Auckland due to a small number of cases in Warkworth, which is on Auckland’s northern border.

This includes a staff member on CHT Amberlea’s dementia ward in Algies Bay.

Although Northland has not had a positive case in this outbreak, there are a lot of close contacts isolating there.

Any change in alert levels for Northland will be announced at Thursday's 1pm press conference.
