There is another Covid-19 case in Ōtorohanga, its mayor, Max Baxter, says.
Two earlier cases of the virus were confirmed in the Waikato town on Sunday. They are close contacts of a case in Te Awamutu.
"Please make the most of the opportunity to get tested. The testing station is still at the Island Reserve. If you have not already, please get vaccinated," Baxter said on social media.
"With cases now appearing in Christchurch now is the time. We want and need the people of our district to stay safe."
Baxter said the new case was already in isolation.
The Ōtorohanga District is one of several districts of the Waikato currently in eased Level 3.
Four more cases in the Waikato were announced on Thursday. Three are in Hamilton and one is in Ōtorohanga.
The Ministry of Health said all of the cases were contacts of existing cases.
Only three of Waikato’s 101 cases remain unlinked epidemiologically. They are linked genomically.
Thirty-two of Waikato’s 101 cases have recovered from the virus.
