Two more measles cases have been confirmed in Hawke's Bay, bringing the total number of cases for the year up to nine.
The cases are linked with the Auckland outbreak, and both are children under 5, Hawke's Bay District Health Board Medical Officer of Health, Nicholas Jones confirmed.
Neither of the new cases have required hospital care.
Known contacts had been traced and the district health board's public health team was working with the families of the children.
One child was attending an early childhood centre, however most children at the centre were already immunised against the virus.
