"All tests of contacts connected to the February outbreak have returned negative results," says a spokesperson for the MOH

"Five remaining close contacts tested today have been in quarantine for the past 12 days. Results are expected shortly."

Meanwhile, wastewater sites around Auckland and at other sites in New Zealand continue to return negative results with the exception of the South Western Interceptor in Auckland.

"This site is near the Auckland quarantine facility, so we expect to see positive results there and levels detected are consistent with those seen over the last month."
