The first cases of COVID-19 in New Zealand in more than 100 days could be a result of refrigerated goods. One of the positive cases was a man who worked at the Americold cold storage company in Mt Wellington.
The Auckland cluster increased to five yesterday after a woman in her 50s - who flew into the country from Pakistan via Dubai - tested positive. More than 200 close contacts of an infected family of four are being tested. Authorities continue to investigate the source of the new cluster. The infections have prompted calls for the September federal election to be delayed. Image: Getty
