There are now well over 200 locations of interest across Auckland, parts of Wellington, the Coromandel and more recently the central North Island.
On Saturday, it was announced the Delta variant of COVID-19 had infected 21 more people, taking New Zealand's tally of active community cases to 51.
Naturally, more cases means more places where people may have been exposed to the virus - and the Ministry of Health has now updated its list with dozens more locations.
The earliest known location of interest is Auckland's MELBA Hillsborough cafe on the afternoon of August 1, while the latest is Countdown Newtown in Wellington, which was visited just yesterday morning.
New locations of interest revealed on Saturday include Auckland University of Technology's city campus, two more high schools, another Air New Zealand flight and Spark Arena.
More bus routes, dairies, service stations and supermarkets were also added to the list.

Below is the full list of locations of interest as of 2pm on Saturday, August 21.
What to do if you've been at a location of interest
The Ministry of Health advises anyone who has been at one of the listed locations at the date and time highlighted to get a test immediately, self-isolate and call Healthline on 0800 358 5453.
Anyone who is a household contact of a person who has been at a location of interest is required to isolate at home until a negative test result is returned.
Speaking to The AM Show on Thursday, Director-General of Health, Dr Ashley Bloomfield, reiterated the importance of keeping up-to-date with the latest locations.
"This reflects the demographic of our cases - there are a large number of locations of interest. We need everyone to keep an eye on those," he said.
"Anyone who is an essential worker… if they have been at one of those locations of interest, they need to not go out and about - they need to stay at home and get tested. With the rest of the population in an alert level 4 situation, that is extremely important."
