The woman visited Whangārei, Ruakākā, Kaiwaka, Maungaturoto, Matakohe and Mangawhai.
Burkhardt, who is also Northland District Health Board chairman, said the meeting's purpose was to get a sense of how all the players were collectively responding to the new Covid-19 reality.
The forum would look at what it needed to do to support the response rolled out to date. Whānau were also wanting to assist and this would also be considered.
Burkhardt said authorities still didn't have a clear view of whether or not alert levels needed to be lifted.
"But that's always on the cards," Burkhardt said.
It was important to be ready, should it happen.
He said the challenges facing Northland's vulnerable communities had not gone away since New Zealand's last Covid-19 lockdowns.
"Their risk hasn't changed for our vulnerable communities."
He said New Zealand's level 4 lockdown had shown vulnerable communities' isolation was a negative and a positive.
Protecting the vulnerable by stopping Covid-19 being brought into these communities had been one tool used in level 4 lockdown that had worked well.
Burkhardt said there was no sense of any Covid response fatigue in the community.
He said it was pleasing to see how well the infected woman had used the QV Covid tracing app, which had really assisted the response progress to date.
