There is one new border-related case of COVID-19.

This person is a worker at the Grand Millennium managed isolation facility and is a close contact of the case reported on Thursday.

"Because the new case has been self-isolating at home since being identified as a close contact late last week, there is considered to be very little additional risk to the community," the Ministry of Health says.

"They returned an earlier negative test before returning a positive test today."

This worker and their partner have been moved to the Auckland quarantine facility.

The ministry also gave an update on the case announced on Thursday.

This case, known as Case B, has a genomic link with a cleaner, Case A, at the Grand Millennium who tested positive for COVID-19 on March 21 and has been previously reported.

"Due to this genomic link with the cleaner, Case A, the worker who tested positive last week will be known as Case B. The investigation into how COVID-19 was transmitted to Case B is ongoing. Today's new case will be referred to as Case C," the Ministry of Health says.

Locations of interest

There are three additional locations of interest linked to the April case.

People who visited these locations are asked to monitor symptoms for 14 days from exposure, and get a test if they become unwell.
