Authorities are working under the assumption that the case is the more transmissible variant of the virus.

New Zealand has reported its first case of community transmission in more than two months, although there was no immediate evidence that the coronavirus was spreading.

Director-General of Health Dr Ashley Bloomfield speaks to media about the new case of community transmission on Sunday.Like other returning travellers, she spent 14 days in quarantine and twice tested negative before being returning home on January 13. New Zealand has eliminated community transmission of the virus, at least for now. Bloomfield said officials are ramping up contact tracing and testing efforts and hope to have more information about the case in the coming days.

Auckland goes into lockdown after New Zealand reports three new COVID-19 casesPrime Minister Jacinda Ardern makes the announcement after a couple and their daughter tested positive in Auckland, with the mother working at an airline catering company.
