Both returnees, and the family of the second case, were transferred last night from Waikato to the Auckland quarantine facility.
The third case is a woman in her 70s who arrived in New Zealand on 30 June from India. She was already in quarantine in the Chateau on the Park in Christchurch after a family member tested positive from a day 3 test. The woman remains in quarantine.
