Two more people in the community who recently left managed isolation have tested positive for Covid-19 and health officials are now urgently re-testing them. A 56-year-old woman from Northland tested positive for Covid-19 on Sunday. Epidemiologist Michael Baker said the pair could be weak positive cases and it was most likely that they were historic cases. The close contacts of the Northland woman will remain in isolation for the full 14 days despite testing negative. There are also four new cases in managed isolation facilities today.
