She said pick-ups and drop-offs will all be noted. Ardern said there is no suggestion the driver has done anything they shouldn't have.
Ardern said for those regularly crossing the border, a test on a weekly cycle was suitable.
Bloomfield said Auckland public health staff were of the view that the outbreak is very much under control and there are a few households in South Auckland where cases are popping up.
Ardern said Cabinet has considered settings at alert level 1 and reached the conclusion that alert level 1 will remain the same, with no changes following the Delta outbreak.
The most important consideration is that alert level 1 is for an environment with no risk of community transmission. So long as Auckland is in the higher alert levels, we will need a greater preparedness in the rest of the country, Ardern said.
If on Monday, the Government confirms Auckland moves to alert level 3 the number of people who can gather in hospitality venues will increase from 50 to 100 in other parts of the country, Ardern said.
Ardern said the Delta level 2 restrictions were necessary, but Cabinet feels "more comfortable" lifting some of those if Auckland moves down alert levels.
Testing for workers crossing the border
From 11:59 this evening all permitted travellers across the Auckland boundary must show proof they have been tested.
Police will check compliance from midnight tonight, and those who cannot show proof will be turned back, Bloomfield said.
There is a pop-up testing centre at Mobil station on SH1 near Meremere from tomorrow.
Middlemore case
Twelve of today's 13 cases have been linked to the outbreak - the unlinked case was tested and discovered after they visited Middlemore Hospital.
The Middlemore Hospital case was seen at the emergency department and was tested as part of wider surveillance testing and not because they showed symptoms.
Further testing is happening at Middlemore, including in the adult surgical and medical wards.
The clinical guideline is that a positive case has to quarantine for 10 days and 72 hours, Bloomfield said, but it has been updated to 14 days at the end of August. in Auckland the main focus is on dealing with the outbreak, and in the process of implementing the new process, Bloomfield said.
Ardern said Auckland is the last place to "come on board" with the changes.
Rapid testing kits
100,000 rapid test kits arrived in the country yesterday.
A pilot will be rolled out at international airports and Middlemore Hospital, to "help work out now how to best use them in the future", Bloomfield said.
Vaccine buses
The first mobile vaccine buses launched in Auckland this morning. Three launched this morning - one to Lincoln Rd and another at Papakura Station. Twelve will be provided in total, thanks to Auckland Airport.
Experts warn the only way for New Zealand to avoid lockdowns is to have at least 90 per cent of the eligible population vaccinated.
Ardern said there will be a focus on the buses travelling to suburbs where access to vaccinations are more difficult.
Three million doses have been administered nationwide - "a significant milestone", Ardern said.
She wants to see 80 per cent of all Aucklanders vaccinated with their first dose by the end of the week.
She urges anyone who hasn't had their first vaccine to "do it today".
Everyone who is New Zealand right now regardless of their immigration status is able to be tested and vaccinated at any time, Ardern said.
The converted black and orange airport Park & Ride buses have vaccination signs posted on their sides. One reads "Roll up your sleeves, Auckland", and another "Vaccinate for Auckland".
Ardern this week asked for names for the service and narrowed it down to Jabba Waka, Shot Bro, Jabbin' Wagon, Vaxi Taxi. In the end "Shot Bro" was the most popular.
Yesterday, 14 new cases of Covid-19 were announced in the community.
All were linked to existing cases but three people were infectious while in the community, creating 10 new exposure events.
There was an increase in testing Tuesday in Auckland, with 10,341 new tests completed.
Labour MP Willie Jackson said the answer to boosting vaccination among Māori and Pacific people was to enlist the help of people from within those communities.
Jackson said he was pleased to see the support at community level for vaccines.
"I'm really excited because we need to get out into these communities in South Auckland," he said.
Auckland mayor Phil Goff said: "We are taking the vaccine to the people."
The aim was to get up to 80 per cent of Aucklanders having had one shot of the vaccine by the end of the week.
Although the current lockdown was the right decision, the country could not rely on lockdowns forever.
The six buses - on loan to the Northern Region Health Coordination Centre - will act like pop-up vaccination clinics. Pukekohe is one of the first areas a bus will visit this afternoon.
Covid-19 modeller Professor Michael Plank told Newstalk ZB this morning his modelling showed that reopening New Zealand with 70-80 per cent vaccination would still leave the country vulnerable.
As of yesterday, 38 per cent of New Zealand's eligible population were fully vaccinated and 70 per cent had received at least one dose.
"It will be difficult to avoid large-scale health impacts - that could include tens of thousands of hospitalisations and potentially thousands of deaths.
"So we really need to try and get that vaccination coverage into the 90s", which would make the situation more manageable, he said.
Plank believed it was possible to vaccinate 90 per cent of the eligible population.
"That's the way to reduce the health impacts that will come when we open up our borders and we inevitably do start to get outbreaks of Covid-19."
The United Kingdom had reasonably high vaccine coverage, he said. "But they also still have a lot of people dying." Most deaths were in older people "but not exclusively", he said. An "enormous" number of people in Britain were in hospital including a number of younger people.
But epidemiologist Rod Jackson thought the number needed to even be higher to avoid lockdowns.
Jackson said 95 per cent of over 12-year-olds needed to be vaccinated as that still left 700,000 children under 12 and 250,000 people unvaccinated.
Over the next few months there needed to be a focus on moving the vaccine-hesitant people to being vaccinated, rather than on the small number of anti-vaxxers who he didn't think should be given any oxygen, he said.
