New level 2 rules kick in for most of the country - 15 new cases of Covid-19 in the community in Auckland. The news comes as director general of health Ashley Bloomfield today revealed 15 new cases of Covid-19 in the community. That's why clinical assessments and asking relevant Covid questions remained important as a way of screening for patients with Covid entering hospital, Bloomfield said. Bloomfield said officials were not seeing new Covid cases emerge from people being at locations of interest. Instead, most cases were now known contacts of other Covid cases, which was very encouraging.
