Four new cases of COVID-19 were reported by the Ministry of Health on Saturday, including a seventh member of the Pakistan cricket team.
No new cases were found in the community.
Two of the cases arrived on November 23 via the US, and tested positive on day three of their isolation stay.
The third arrived from the US on November 26 and was tested on arrival, as they were showing symptoms.
"The person has also been moved to Auckland’s quarantine facility," the ministry said.
The fourth is an additional member of the Pakistani cricket squad, of whom six had already tested positive.
The rest, on day three of their stay, tested negative.
"The Pakistan cricket team will be next undergoing day six testing as planned," the ministry said.
"The exemption to train while in managed isolation is on hold pending consideration by the Canterbury DHB medical officer of health that they are satisfied that training is unlikely to transmit COVID-19.
"This ongoing consideration is expected to take until at least early next week."
Members of the squad deemed close contacts of those who have tested positive have already been barred from training.
"The Pakistan Cricket squad members that arrived in New Zealand all met the agreed pre-departure requirements for travel, including multiple PCR tests, and symptom checks. Exemptions allowing people to train while in managed isolation are very difficult to obtain and any team that receives such an exemption is in a privileged position.
"The ministry is today thanking the Pakistan cricket squad for their compliance with expectations around managed isolation and their cooperation with the investigation of the cases."
There are 69 active cases at present.
Of the Air New Zealand case, 17 close contacts have tested negative and one is still awaiting a test.
