The Ministry of Health has announced one new case of Covid-19 in New Zealand's managed isolation and quarantine facilities today.
There are no new cases recorded in the community - for the third day in a row.
The single case today is a person who arrived in New Zealand on November 3 from Romania via Qatar and Australia.
They are family members of a previous case from managed isolation and had already been transferred to the Auckland quarantine facility at Jet Park.
The Ministry today said the West Indies cricket team, which had been given an exemption to isolation rules in order to train ahead of their matches here, had broken the rules.
Their exemption has been revoked.
