A number of locations at Auckland Airport, and a Wellington restaurant, were visited by a civilian Defence Force worker who was later confirmed to have Covid-19.
The person was a contact of a service person who picked up the virus at Auckland's Jet Park Hotel quarantine facility on Friday.
The pair met in Auckland last week, with the second person flying back to Wellington on Air NZ flight 457 on Thursday evening.
The partner of a man who sat near the infected person says they have received conflicting advice from the Ministry of Health.
The Ministry of Health has issued an app notification to those who checked in at a number of locations around Auckland Airport, and a Wellington restaurant, on November 5 and 6.
They are:
Domestic Terminal, Auckland Airport: 5.30 – 7.45pm, 5 Nov
Avis Car Rental, Auckland Airport: 5.00 – 5.15pm, 5 Nov

Hudsons, Auckland Airport: 7.00 – 7.15pm, 5 Nov
Little Penang, The Terrace, Wellington: 1.15 – 3.45pm, 6 Nov.
Anyone who was at those locations at those times is considered a casual contact with a low risk of exposure. Close contacts are being contacted directly.
The person works at Defence House in Wellington, which is closed for cleaning.
Around 1300 people work there.
The MOH has named this latest community outbreak the November quarantine cluster.
