The healthcare worker from Auckland's Jet Park quarantine facility has an infection genetically linked to three cases at the facility - all linked to the Auckland cluster.

The healthcare worker's five household contacts have returned negative results, and are self-isolating for 14 days.

Nine staff from the Jet Park facility have been identified as close contacts - and all have returned negative results, and will isolate for 14 days.
