Festivalgoers who attended the Netsky, Hybrid Minds, Montell2099, Friction, Holy Goof, Koven & more event at Wharepai Domain on January 3 from 2pm to midnight have been advised to self-monitor for symptoms for 10 days.
Anyone who attended the event was considered a close contact of two Wellington cases, the Ministry of Health website said earlier today, but the listing has been "recategorised" this afternoon.
"Any festival attendee, without any symptoms, no longer needs to get tested and isolate at home until they receive a negative result," the Ministry said.
"The reassessment follows a review of the risk, particularly given the festival was held in accordance with the rules for outdoor events... the fact that no other cases have since been linked to the festival and the initial test results of the 11 close contacts of the Wellington case are all negative."
People who attended the festival and have symptoms develop, are advised to get a test and stay home until a negative test result.
Festivalgoers are urged to record their visit online or call Healthline so contact tracers can be informed.
