Passengers landing in Sydney from New Zealand on Friday night were also informed, but none reported having attended any of the venues or had symptoms.
New Zealand's COVID-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins said the new virus sample, from a female student based in Auckland, had now been directly, genomically linked to that of a Defence Force staff member who had spent time near where the woman worked.Nurses speak to people waiting in line at a testing station on High St, Auckland, near the A-Z Collection store where a worker has tested positive for COVID-19.
But the minister also sounded a warning note to New Zealanders about the ongoing risk to the community."We don't yet have a confirmed theory for how the virus was transmitted between the cases," he said. "Understandably, [they] feel the weight of the entire country on their shoulders [...] as we've said repeatedly it is the virus that's the problem and not the people. They do not deserve to have blame heaped upon them."
