One new case of COVID-19 has been recorded in a managed isolation facility in the past 24 hours, and there are no cases in the community.
The total confirmed number of cases in the country is now 2358.
The Ministry of Health said they were continuing to assess test results after a child with an indeterminate test result for COVID-19 was identified on Stewart Island.
Further testing of the household members returned negative results from swabs and serology testing.
"The child's swab is positive for rhinovirus, which causes the 'common cold'," the Ministry of Health said on Friday.
"If rhinovirus is in the community this could explain the cold and flu type symptoms reported in the community."
The Ministry of Health said 93 swabs had been collected yesterday from a testing centre set up on Stewart Island, with those swabs to be processed over the next two days.
"We expect the first of these results to be available later this afternoon and if negative will give a high degree of assurance that COVID-19 is not circulating in the community. This will also enable a decision about the next steps for residents."
The Ministry of Health also said testing had been returned following three bubble breaches in a managed isolation facility on Sunday evening.
The breaches involved 12 people at the Crowne Plaza Auckland, with all 12 tests coming back negative.
