They were among the 40 new cases announced in Northland by the district health board on Monday.

Monday's numbers come two days after close to 200 vehicles took part in an anti-mandate protest in Kerikeri on Saturday morning.

The vehicles, including a ''freedom bus'', a few trucks and even three horses, drove laps of Kerikeri town centre before stopping at Kerikeri Domain for speeches.

The protest lasted till mid-afternoon, but it was interrupted when a man staged his own counter-protest by standing in the path of the brightly-painted ''Northland Community Freedom Bus''.

The tense stand-off caused a 15-minute traffic jam on Kerikeri's main road and only ended when police arrived.
