Three of the new cases have not yet been linked to previous confirmed cases. One patient is at North Shore Hospital, seven in Auckland City Hospital and five in Middlemore. A patient who presented to Waitakere Hospital's ED yesterday with Covid-19 symptoms is now in an Auckland quarantine facility, MoH said. This person was taken straight to a separate, dedicated area at the hospital for patients with Covid symptoms – patients in this area are kept separate from each other.
