Health officials encircle church cluster
The Health Ministry says more than 80 percent of the congregation of the Mt Roskill Evangelical Fellowship have now been retested for COVID-19 as authorities try to put the lid on an outbreak associated with the church.
There was one new community case connected to the subcluster reported today.
That means there are now 33 cases in the Mt Roskill Evangelical Fellowship group and 13 cases in the sub-cluster associated with a congregation member who attended bereavement events while they were supposed to be self-isolating awaiting the results of a COVID test.
Meanwhile, a student at Henderson North School who was reported yesterday as a confirmed case was not infectious when they last attended school, so the risk to any students or staff is considered to be very low and the school remains open.
