There are two new confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Ōtorohanga, in Waikato.
The Ministry of Health says the early indications are that these two cases are close contacts of a previously confirmed case from Te Awamutu. They were tested on Saturday and received their results back on Sunday.
The two cases are now isolating locally in dedicated accommodation, with public health oversight.
"Investigations are continuing to determine further details around the cases' movements and another update will be provided tomorrow," the Ministry of Health says.
A testing site will be open in Ōtorohanga on Monday between 11am and 3pm, and the Waikato District Health Board is encouraging anyone in the township who may have symptoms to get tested. The site will be at Ōtorohanga Club, 107 Maniapoto Street.
These two cases will be formally added to the Ministry of Health's case total in Monday's update.
