A Parliament press gallery journalist has returned a negative Covid-19 PCR test after previously testing positive following a rapid antigen test.
On Monday afternoon 30 members of the media took rapid antigen tests.
It comes after 981 new Covid-19 community cases in New Zealand were announced by the Ministry of Health on Monday.
"Once again, the further increase in new cases today [Monday] is another reminder that, as expected, the highly transmissible Omicron variant is now spreading in our communities as we have seen in other countries," the ministry said.
