Covid-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins says the transmission of the Delta variant of Covid-19 at Auckland's Jet Park hotel shows how quickly the virus has mutated. The Delta variant of the coronavirus that causes Covid-19 was transmitted between two groups of people at Auckland's Jet Park Hotel when two hotel-room doors were open at the same time for just three to five seconds. RICKY WILSON/Stuff Officials have advised that in-facility transmission occurred at the Jet Park Hotel quarantine facility because of people’s doors being opened at the same time for just a few seconds. The incident involved a group of five people who were moved to Jet Park on July 15 after one tested positive on a day zero swab. A solo traveller, staying in the room directly opposite, was moved to Jet Park on July 19.
