The Ministry of Health reports two new cases of Covid-19 confirmed to have tested positive last evening in Christchurch.

The two positive cases reside in the same household, with one member recently returning from Auckland.

A local public health unit will gather more information about the cases this morning to identify potential close contacts, exposure events and locations of interest.

Further updates and developments will be provided to media after a public health risk assessment of the situation unfolds. 

More to come…
