There is one new case of COVID-19 in New Zealand, the Ministry of Health says, which was detected in managed isolation and quarantine facilities.
"The person who has tested positive arrived from Hong Kong on 1 October and returned a positive test as part of routine testing at around day three," the ministry says.
"They have been transferred to the Auckland quarantine facility."
The country's total number of confirmed COVID-19 cases is now 1499. No cases are currently in hospital.
Two previously reported cases have now recovered, meaning New Zealand now has a total number of 40 active cases.
Of these active cases, 34 are imported cases in MIQ facilities, and six are community cases.
