There are no new cases of COVID-19 in New Zealand, the Ministry of Health announced in a statement on Monday.
There are 18 people currently isolating in the Auckland quarantine facility, the Jet Park Hotel, from the community, including nine people who have tested positive for COVID-19 and their household contacts.
As of Monday, one person is in hospital with COVID-19. The patient is in isolation on a general ward at Middlemore Hospital.
Since August 11, the Ministry of Health's contact tracing team has identified 4075 close contacts of confirmed cases, of which 4072 have been contacted and are self-isolating or have completed self-isolation. The remainder are in the process of being contacted.
New Zealand's total number of active cases stands at 55. Of those, 28 are imported cases detected in managed isolation and quarantine facilities, and 27 are community cases.
The country's total number of confirmed cases is 1477.
On Sunday, laboratories processed 3539 tests, bringing the total number of tests completed to date to 951,954.
In an update on the three community cases reported on Wednesday, the ministry confirmed that public health services are continuing to contact trace, test and isolate close contacts of the cases.
The three community cases are not connected to the Auckland cluster, which emerged in August. The family group have instead been "linked to a previously reported Christchurch to Auckland chartered flight" and began isolating three days before their cases were announced.
There are now a total of 44 close contacts associated with the cases, all of which are currently self-isolating. Forty-two have returned negative test results, and the remaining two results are pending.
The ministry has also reiterated the importance of public health measures such as maintaining good hygiene practices, staying at home when sick, and using the Government's official contact tracing technology, the NZ COVID Tracer app, to document individual movements and location history in the event of a future community outbreak.
Anyone who is presenting flu-like symptoms or symptoms associated with COVID-19 - such as a dry cough, fatigue and fever - should call Healthline or their GP to organise a test.
"All these measures will be particularly important during the school holidays as New Zealanders increasingly travel around the country," said the statement.
The NZ COVID Tracer app has now recorded 2,281,100 registered users and a total of 77,160,856 poster scans. Users have created 3,381,406 manual diary entries in the app since the function was released.
The National Contact Tracing team will continue issuing exposure notices through the COVID Tracer App when it's appropriate, the ministry reiterated.
Last week, a number of people got tested after receiving an alert that they had visited a location at a time when contact with a confirmed case may have been possible. This indicates the technology is "working smoothly", the statement said.
