Investigations are focusing on the possibility the virus was imported by freight. Surface testing is underway at an Auckland cool store where a man from the infected family handled frozen food - but only while wearing PPE gear.

The discovery of four infected family members in Auckland led Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern to swiftly reimpose tight restrictions in the city and social distancing measures across the entire country.

"We know the virus can survive within refrigerated environments for quite some time," he told a televised media conference. Mr Winnall said consumers should not be alarmed as the man would have been wearing PPE gear and gloves while at work. However, it also notes that studies have shown that the virus can survive for up to 72 hours on plastic.
