The Ministry of Health was notified last evening of two
positive COVID-19 cases in Christchurch from the same
household. One member of the household had recently returned
to Christchurch from Auckland.
The local public health
unit is gathering information from the cases to identify
close contacts and exposure events, including any locations
of interest. The Ministry will undertake a public health
risk assessment of the situation this morning and a further
update will be provided after
that.
