The Ministry of Health advised anyone who was at the Rotorua Lakefront on January 13 between 6.15pm and 9.30pm and January 15 between 10am and 2pm to self-monitor for Covid-19 symptoms for 10 days after they were exposed.

If symptoms develop, get a test and stay at home until you get a negative test result.

Also anyone who was at Lake Tarawera on January 13 between 3pm and 6pm or January 15 between 2.30pm and 5pm should also self-monitor.

A Ministry of Health spokesperson said Lake Tarawera was added as a location of interest "out of an abundance of caution".

This was due to the large number of people who were at the lake at the time, the amount of time the case spent there, and the general movement of people at the lake.

"Anyone who was at Lake Tarawera at the specified time is asked to self-monitor for symptoms for 10 days from January 13."

This advice does not include people who were on boats that did not have contact with any people they did not know.

There are several new locations of interest for the region.

Omicron confirmed

The Ministry of Health has confirmed the Palmerston North Covid case reported yesterday has the Omicron variant.

Covid has also been detected in wastewater in Tairāwhiti despite no cases in the region as a Palmerston North supermarket becomes the latest potential exposure site for an assumed Omicron case.

It is understood the ministry will also announce changes to self-isolation.

Change to isolation requirements

The ministry said to help address the increased infectiousness of Omicron, as an interim measure, the isolation time for all Covid-19 cases is being extended to 14 days. It was previously 10 days.

Isolation periods for cases and close contacts remain under review and are planned to change as part of the response to an Omicron community outbreak.
