The apartments have been identified four other times as exposure events; with visits recorded last week on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
There were 29 new cases yesterday, and the day before there were 33 - more than half of whom were out in the community while infectious.
Those who were at any of the locations of interest at the listed times are urged to watch for any Covid symptoms for 14 days after being exposed, and if symptoms start to appear, to get a Covid test immediately.
It is expected some of the locations could also be outside Auckland after an outbreak was discovered in the Waikato over the weekend. Cases have been found in Hamilton and Raglan.
However, not every incident of possible exposure will be published. Deputy Prime Minister Grant Robertson told TVNZ this morning that some of the locations of interest around Hamilton had instead been named as "exposure events".
That was because everyone connected to that place of interest - for example, a workplace - could be identified.
Locations added yesterday include Zest apartments in central Auckland, Farro in Mt Eden, Pak'n'Save in Henderson, a dairy and a McDonald's in Wairau Valley, a petrol station in Albany and a supermarket in Ōtāhuhu.
