Organisers of upcoming sporting events and functions in Wellington are awaiting advice from health authorities before making any decisions.

Authorities are now considering putting the capital into lockdown after an Australian man infected with the Delta strain of Covid-19 spent two-and-a-half days in Wellington doing "tourist things" before returning home to Sydney and testing positive.
