23rd August, 2021:  There are 35 new cases of Covid-19 in the New Zealand community to confirm today. Of these 33 are in Auckland and two are in Wellington.

This brings the total number in the community to 107. Of these 99 are in Auckland and eight are in Wellington.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and director general of health Dr Ashley Bloomfield will front a press conference at 4pm to announce any challenges to alert levels. New Zealand is currently in lockdown until 11.59pm tomorrow.

All of today's new cases are either in or currently being transferred to managed isolation facilities.

The Ministry of Health says it was not unexpected to see a rise in cases.

There are also three new border cases all who are in managed isolation facilities.

There are now 334 visits to 248 locations of interest listed by the Ministry of Health. The vast majority of these are in Auckland, with at least 12 in Wellington and a few scattered across the North Island, as well as two flights between Auckland and Wellington.

The latest exposure sites include KFC in Pt Chevalier between 9pm and 10pm on Friday August 13.

There is also a new location outside Auckland, a visit to the Johnsonville Mobil petrol station in Wellington on Tuesday between 8.20pm and 8.35pm.

An additional south Auckland supermarket is now on the list with an infected shopper visiting PaknSave Clendon Park on Monday August 16 between 7pm and 7.30pm.

There is also a corner store in the same suburb, Clendon Dairy on Roscommon Rd that is also a potential exposure site. The Ministry of Health says if you visited the store between 11.30am and 12pm on Tuesday August 17 you must isolate at home for 14 day, get tested immediately and again on days 5 and 12 after last exposure.

More public bus rides between Glen Eden and Green Bay have also been added.

So far 13,230 contacts have been identified with less than half - 6773 - contacted by public health staff and self isolating.

The majority of the 13,230 contacts are close contacts and the number is expected to rise throughout the day as records are fully processed.
