Ata Marie. Here is your 6.30 News. Aucklanders are waking up to a level 3 lockdown and the rest of the country is in level 2 after a member of an Auckland family tested positive for covid-19.
The mother works in an airport laundry and catering service which could be a possible link to the border, but the source of infection is yet to be identified. Employees there have routine covid testing and the woman last tested negative on January 18th.
A modelling expert says, the three new community cases could be the tip of the iceberg of a bigger cluster and a quick shift of alert level was the right move. Professor Shawn Hendy says the source of the infection could have come from a pillow or a facemask at the border.
"But we do know that survives for a short period of time on surfaces, you know, so that's a kind of scenario that I have been imagining is maybe a discarded mask or a pillow, um… that an infected traveller you know might have been using on the plane and then this woman has handled it as part of her job in the laundry."
Roadblocks will be set up around Auckland preventing non-essential travel from the region for the next three days and police say anyone trying to leave should be, should expect to be stopped. Officers would be patrolling at 8 checkpoints from Wellsford in the North to Pukekohe in the South.
Let’s cross now live to Vandhna Bhan who is outside Papatoetoe High School in south Auckland.
“Morena, Vandhna”
“Morena, Indira. Yes, and the reason why I’m out here is that one of the cases is a Year 9 student who goes to Papatoetoe High School and she was here just last Wednesday, so now the school is closed for the next two days for deep cleaning and we just saw moments ago the cleaners coming. There are also teachers being behind me here who are trying to get their gear saying they are ready for online learning. And now this site is going to double up as a testing centre for anyone who has been in Papatoetoe High School over the last week. That includes 1,500 students, 150 teachers, any visitors and direct family members. Whether you are symptomatic or not, casual contact or not, the advice is to get tested and isolated for 14 days. Now Papatoetoe High School is just one of the 21 locations these family members have visited between New Plymouth and south Auckland, between the 6th of Feb and the Saturday 13th, just this last Saturday. So go on to the Ministry of Health website if you have been to one of these locations. Advice there is to get a test at one of the many locations pop up here at Auckland and two locations in New Plymouth. Indira.”
“Kia ora, Vandhna.”
