The Ministry of Health is today confirming a case of COVID-19 isolating in Blenheim, in the north east of the South Island. It comes after the individual late last night returned a positive COVID-19 test result.

The individual flew from Rotorua and arrived in Blenheim on 21 October. The individual sought a test upon arrival after developing a sore throat.

The initial test, including a follow-up swab, returned a weak positive result. The current public health assessment is that the risk appears low given the individual’s likely late stage of infection.

So far, initial case interviews have identified a small number of close contacts, who have been contacted and are currently isolating with tests arranged.
