There have not yet been any locations of interest confirmed.
Whanganui DHB chief executive Russell Simpson said a rise in case numbers was expected as community transmission increased across the country.
"The Whanganui DHB catchment also serves as a main thoroughfare with SH1, 3 and 4 passing through the district," Simpson said.
"Our region is also surrounded by increasing case numbers in other DHB areas. I would expect to see case numbers rise across our region in the coming days as community transmission becomes more widespread."
Due to the extreme weather, the Covid-19 testing clinics for Sunday have had to be closed.

"We encourage our community to be thinking about how to take care of themselves and their whānau should Covid-19 affect them," the DHB statement said.
Where possible reach out to neighbours and whānau, talk about support plans and how you can help each other. Maintain the Covid-19 rules - wear your mask, sanitise your hands, record where you have been and maintain physical distancing."
