They are a household contact who was tested yesterday, the ministry said.<\/p>\n “Two previously confirmed cases from Saturday and from yesterday have now been reclassified as under investigation.”<\/p>\n “As a result, today’s net increase is 13 cases.”<\/p>\n Director-General of Health Dr Ashley Bloomfield said they expect another further 50 to 60 cases from household contacts in the next week or so.<\/p>\n The cases in Upper Hauraki are linked to a prisoner who was released on remand to a Firth of Thames address. The government knows who infected the person on remand and on what date, Ardern says. They have been linked to a workplace cluster, she says.<\/p>\n Just over 500 tests have been taken at the marae in Whakat\u012bwai and all results back so far are negative, Bloomfield said.<\/p>\n He strongly encourages people living in the rohe to get vaccinated if they haven’t already been. There are two vaccination stations in the area.<\/p>\n Interviews with students at Mangatangi School are being undertaken, he said.<\/p>\n On the Pfizer vaccine trial in children aged 5 to 11, Bloomfield said it is promising news.<\/p>\n He said the government will be looking closely at the results of this trial.<\/p>\n -RNZ<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There are 14 new community cases of Covid-19 in the community today, the Ministry of Health has reported.
