Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is set to announce this afternoon whether Auckland will move to level 3 from midnight tomorrow, as Cabinet signalled would happen last week.
Te Rōpū Whakakaupapa Urutā co-leader Dr Sue Crengle said the group believed Auckland should stay in level 4 beyond tomorrow and Waikato should join it after three cases were confirmed in the Waikato region last night.
Ministry of Health said in a statement the new cases are household contacts of a remand prisoner, who was released on e-monitored bail to a Kaiaua/Whakatīwai address in the Firth of Thames on 8 September. He remained at the property where nine others live, until he self-reported to police. He tested positive after returning to Mt Eden Prison in Auckland.
The ministry confirmed the three positive cases last night, and said five other household members had been tested and the ninth would be tested today.
