Two people have tested positive for Covid-19 on Auckland's North Shore, according to a letter from Auckland Regional Public Health Service. A letter, dated for today, was sent to residents, notifying them that two people in Kāinga Ora properties in Beach Haven had tested positive for the virus. It is unclear whether these cases are in addition to the 24 Auckland cases announced at today's 1pm press conference by Director of public health Dr Caroline McElnay. The Auckland Regional Public Health Service (ARPHS) chose not to comment further, a spokesperson saying its advice was in the letter. A Kāinga Ora spokesperson said it had been informed of the positive cases associated with the apartment complexes in Beach Haven.
