More details have been revealed about the latest Covid-19 community case, a woman in her 20s who hasn't been linked to managed isolation or the border.
The woman lives at the Vincent Residences, in Auckland's CBD, and residents of the same apartment building have been asked to isolate and get tested.
She also took "a number of Ubers" to work, Director of Public Health Dr Caroline McElnay confirmed this evening.
"Although those trips were very short, because they were in close confinement, we are asking those drivers to get a test and isolate."
Interviews with health authorities are still underway but they've identified a number of locations where the woman went while potentially infectious, McElnay says.
While symptomatic, she worked at A-Z Collection on High St in a customer-facing role. Anyone who went there is asked to isolate and arrange a test as soon as possible.
She had been told to isolate after her test result and initially called in sick to work, but after a conversation with her manager, came in and wore a face mask, McElnay says.
