The cluster of cases here has grown to 69 and then yesterday a maintenance worker at a quarantine facility tested positive. They are doing genomic testing to try and track where these cases have come from, but as yet they just don't know. They are different strains to the one here previously. The maintenance worker's strain matches someone that was in the quarantine facility but there doesn't seem to be any point of contact between that person and him. And as for the main cluster it matches strains found in England and Australia but as to where the first case came into contact with it, they have no idea which is a little scary.
But it has been revealed that border staff and those working in quarantine facilities haven't been refusing tests - they've in fact been asking for them and being refused. Is common sense so rare these days!?
For all it's faults New Zealand is a pretty special place. Australia is beautiful too (though New Zealanders would joke that it's full of Australians

). We honeymooned on the Gold Coast and I was able to have a snake around my neck (something I'd always wanted to do). The wildlife is amazing and so different to New Zealand's.
