Photo: NZMEFive people who tested positive for Covid-19 in New Zealand's isolation facilities had negative results before leaving India. Rohit Sharma was on the flight from India via Fiji, which landed in Christchurch on 27 August. "Those who [tested] positive weren't able to catch that flight, only those who had a negative Covid test boarded," he told RNZ's First Up. The other one is that they had a false negative test when they left India. As of yesterday, there were 132 active Covid-19 cases in New Zealand and 33 of these were imported cases in quarantine facilities, while 99 were community cases.
