Border worker tests positive for COVID
A managed isolation worker at Auckland’s Grand Millennium Hotel has tested positive for COVID-19.
The Ministry of Health says the case was picked up by routine surveillance testing, and the worker is asymptomatic.
The managed isolation worker and their immediate household members are isolating at home.
Additional tests and whole genome sequencing are being arranged.
All frontline border workers are currently being vaccinated against the virus, but the ministry was not able to say if the worker had been vaccinated.
