People who were at MIT in Manukau between 12pm and 7pm on February 22, 24 and 25 are now being considered casual contacts. People at those locations on those days are being urged to recheck when they were there and to follow the MoH advice online. Case M is a young man and the older brother of a student at Papatoetoe High School who has tested negative for the virus three times. Meanwhile, the people who breached lockdown and isolation rules and plunged Auckland back into lockdown won't be prosecuted. He said one of the cases - case M - which sparked Auckland's lockdown had been out and about for a week while infectious and that was a key reason why the alert level was raised.
