McELNAY: thank you, Prime
Minister. There are two new
cases of COVID-19 to report in
New Zealand today. Both are
cases in the community, and
both have epidemiological
links to the Auckland cluster.
One new case is a household
contact of a previously
confirmed case associated with
the finance workplace. The
other new case is associated
with an existing case. This
new case was reported
yesterday evening and is a
healthcare worker who works at
a medical centre. It is
believed they came into
contact with the existing case
on the 17 August. As per usual
protocols, a test was carried
out following exposure which

The positive result was picked
up on a second test when the
person became unwell. The
medical centre they work at is

tracing and is undergoing a

this case was between the 25th

contacting staff and patients
of the medical centre. Two

You would have heard that we
do still have cases coming
through from our current
cluster in Auckland. We do
expect that we will continue.
Today's cases for instance our
contacts from right at the
beginning of the outbreak.
That shows two things. The
vigilance we need to keep
applying, but also the fact
the tower of this cluster as
we have said before will be
long. Here is what science
tells us about this cluster as
well. Analysis from ES R shows
that to date cases have been
what they call canonically
linked. That means we know
that they have come from the
same single source --
genomically. We can feel

hasn't been comically linked
you will recall was our Rydges
maintenance worker --
genomically. In that case was
well obtained and isolated. We
are still dealing with a
single source and a single
cluster. While the source of
the cluster has yet to be
identified, genomic analysis
tells us that the starting
point for this outbreak was
the site in Mount Wellington.
While there could well be in
that chain that came before
this one, it has not been
detected to date. No links
have been found with the
gnomes currently available
from cases in manage isolation
facilities, and our sweeper

resulted in any evidence to
show the source of the
outbreak if there is one
beyond Americold. I want to
turn to the latest information
on this cluster. We have
interviewed with testing and
isolation as the doctor has
pointed out to contain what
have been some of the newer
elements of the outbreak.
Obviously, some of the newer
elements include the group
around the Mount rascal
evangelical church. It is
highly likely we will see more
cases through that proactive
testing, which includes
contacts of contacts, so a
very wide sweep is taking
place there. Sorry, casual
contracts. But as you will see
from the alert level two
framework that we set early on
in our fight against COVID-19,
we did anticipate being at
level two while having to
stamp out a cluster like this
one. In fact, the description
for the alert level two

English: 
framework does list limited
community transmission and
active clusters as one of the
possibilities while we are in
alert level two. And here is
probably the most important
message I will share today.
Our system is good. It is
designed to keep us on track
without elimination strategy
at level two in this scenario
we now have. But it will only
work if people follow the
guidance. I understand that it
is easy to become complacent.
That if you hear a message,
that there are just for
instance as we did today, two
cases, you may question what
the likelihood is of you
coming into contact with those
two cases. Everyone I am sure
who is experienced -- has
experienced COVID-19 probably
thought that same thing at
some point in till it was
them. And so for Auckland I
want to say thank you for all

English: 
of your efforts to date, but
also, keep going. You can see
from this map... Which depicts
where we have had cases in
Auckland, that there is no
corner that has been untouched
by this cluster. That is why
rules are for everyone and we
need everyone to stick to
them, no matter where in
Auckland you are. So a quick
reminder of what changes at
midnight tonight. For New
Zealand as a whole, you remain
at level two. For Auckland,
you are at a form of level two
that I am going to call level
2.5. Here is what it means.
First, social gatherings are
limited to 10. That means
everything, birthdays, social
gatherings, family gatherings,
even friends and neighbours.

Maori: 
raatau. Ana hoki ko Akarana ka
mea ahau ki te mihi ki nga mihi
katoa ngana ki te wa nei,
engari ano, kia haere tonu. Ka
taea e koe te kite mai i tenei
mahere ... Ko wai nei nga
korero i a matou keehi i
Akarana, ko tera. Kaore he
kokonga kaore i kitehia e tenei
tautau. Koia hoki te take mo
nga taangata katoa ka hiahia
tatou katoa. Me piri tonu ki a
ratau, ahakoa ko hea koe kei
Akarana e noho ana koe. Na he
whakamaharatanga tere mo nga
mea ka rereke i te po i te po
nei. Mo Aotearoa katoa, kei te
noho tonu koe i te taumata
tuarua. Mo Akarana, kei a koe
tetahi ano te taumata e rua e
haere ana ahau ki te karanga i
te taumata 2.5. Anei te tikanga
o te reira. Tuatahi, ko nga
huihuinga hapori he iti noa iho
ki te 10. Na tera te tikanga

English: 
No gathering can be larger
than 10. I cannot stress how
important this is. Much of
this cluster has stemmed from
social gatherings. If we want
to stop the spread, we have to
stop socialising great time.
for a time. If you are a
business and have any
questions on what this means
for you, revert back to the
protocols you used last time
we step to level two, the
expectations are the same for
those limits. As was the case
when we had these restrictions
in the past, they will be a
limit of 50 people for an
authorised funeral. But there
are some differences to how we
did things last time and face
mask use is one of them. From
tomorrow, masks will be
mandatory on all public
transport for anyone 12 years
and older, across the country,
while we have level to
restrictions in place. A bus

Maori: 
mea katoa, whanau whanautanga,
huihuinga hapori, huihuinga
whanau, ara hoa me noho tata.
Kaore he huihuinga nui atu i te
10. Kaore au e kaha ki te
taumaha i te ahua o tenei. Ko
te nuinga o tenei putiputi i
ahu mai i nga huihuinga hapori.
Mena kei te hiahia tatou ki te
aukati i te horapa, me kati
taatau korero he wa nui. mo
tetahi wa. Mena he umanga koe
me te whai patai mo tenei mea.
Te tikanga mo koe, hoki

taahiraa ki te taumata rua, he
rite nga tumanako mo aua
rohe. He pera ano me taatau i
aukati i enei wa o mua, ko
ratou. Ka waiho a rohe o te 50
tangata mo te mana tangihanga.
Engari he rereketanga o te mahi
i nga mea i te waa whakamutunga
ko te peera kanohi kanohi

ka whakamanahia he kairaru mo

Waihoki, ka mawehe atu koe i to

to note, these are not just

attend a mass gathering, even
if it is not in Auckland, and
if you are sick, definitely do

anywhere else in the company
and we want to keep that that
way and the last thing we want
is to spread the virus around
the country and it's one of
the reasons why we continue to
have level two settings across
New Zealand. I know that these
new normal will take a little
while to get used to but these
are measures that are in place
for a good reason. Our testing
regime is good. Our contact
tracing system is very good.
But they will only work if we
all play our part to support
them. A collective health and
livelihood is in each other's
hands and we owe it to
everyone to abide by the rules
to stop any further spread and
do what we have done before,
get case numbers down, and
enjoy the freedoms at level
one once more. In addition to
these requests of all of you,
we are also continuing to step
up ongoing response of the
government. The display of the
New Zealand COVID secure
tracing code is mandatory and

English: 
I urge everyone to use that.
Visitors are doing their part
by displaying them, and I
encourage you to use them and
help support contact tracing.
When we contact trays, there
will be more occasions now
wear contacts of contacts will
be asked to isolate and be
tested, matching a step down
and alert levels and extra
precautions that we need to
apply. We do want to continue
to keep up testing rates, so
here is the ask, if you have
cold symptoms, get a test. If
you have flu symptoms, get a
test. We will also keep up
testing of people who have no
symptoms as part of
surveillance and do that
through the Ministry of
Health. I hope this gives you
a good sense of what we are
asking of everyone. We have
some way to go. We will step
up levels again, if we need
to, but if everybody plays
their part, we can stamp out
this outbreak as part of our
elimination strategy, with the

I strongly encourage you to
wear a mask. If you take
public transport, you must
wear a mask. We remain in a
strong position relative to
the rest of the world, with
lower numbers of cases with a
strong public health system,
but that will only take us so
far. We need a team of 5

better to stay in Auckland,
what is your message to them?
>> the framework is built for
an elimination strategy that
still has cases in the way
that we do at the moment, all
attached to my cluster. But
you will see, we have stepped
up expectations on Auckland

are meeting challenges of the
current cluster. >> REPORTER:

cluster, we have been asking
people to get a test. From
what I understand of that
message that has gone out, the
detail within the message was
correct. Some of the topline
headings were simply
oversimplified and they were
wrong. >> REPORTER: Do you
think people panicked as a
result of that? >> it was
wrong and we are dealing with
at the moment with the
community and making sure that
of course we are correcting
that. Within, I am told, but
within the message itself I am
told that details were correct
and the topline messaging was
simply oversimplified and it
was incorrect, so we will keep
correcting that and
essentially the messaging we
are putting at still stands.
We'll be working with the
Ministry of Education, health
and others to make sure that
where there are concerns, we
will be addressing those where
we can and we will also, the
government group has gone out
to media outlets to help

English: 
support the correction of that
messaging as well. >>
REPORTER: What messaging has
that caused in the community?
>> it has caused me to be very
angry! We have to be very
clear in our directives and
asks Annie can see that in a
dynamic environment, we have
to be consistent and
ultimately what has happened
is there has been an attempt
to keep the message simple but
it has been done badly. >>
REPORTER: Why does this make
you angry? >> it is made and
asked that is not correct.
We're not asking every single
person in western south
Auckland to get a test, that
is not what the ask is and
what we are encouraging, we
are people who have cold and
flu symptoms and if they have
any connection to the cases we
are currently very focused on,
those are the individuals we
want tested. We do have
asymptomatic testing that is
going on in certain

environments and we will pick
that up but we're not asking
over 700,000 New Zealanders to
get a test without reason at
this point time. >> Are you
concerned about getting enough
people to the testing
stations? >> No, not about
that at all. Yesterday, on a
day we traditionally have
lower numbers, we had very
good solid numbers, about
10,000, so it's no
demonstration of that at all.
>> Are you apologising for
this? There has been a lot of
confusion. >> We do need to
make sure we get the correct
messaging out and we will be
asking for that support and am
working hard to establish what
happened here because we do
need to make sure the messages
are nice and clear.. >> By
your admission, it was a
mistake and buy your own
admission it went out
yesterday, surely there needs
to be some sort of apology? >>
One of the issues is that not
all of the communications,

English: 
there needs to be processes in
place that they a signed off
by me and that those who are
very deeply embedded in all of
the messaging that we are
asking particularly from a
health message, to make sure
they are totally involved in
the process of signing off
communications to make sure we
do not have the
oversimplification of
messaging because that is what
has happened here. >>
REPORTER: So you are working
to answer make sure it doesn't
happen again?
>> Absolutely, I have been
very clear on what my
expectations are because we
cannot afford to have messages
like that go out incorrectly.
>> REPORTER: Who signed off on
the communications? >> It goes
through the whole government
group and that is who I am
working with and we will be
making sure it doesn't happen
again and it's a separate
process and previously issues
have been raised about making
sure it's a completely
apolitical process, does not
involve particularly needs. A

clear what I said today what
expectations are and I have
every anticipation that you
would give me a chance to talk
about the incorrect

media companies? >> You are
ultimately telling a story
around a piece of
communications that you need
to correct. >> REPORTER: Did
you go to the new site and
tell them they you were wrong?
>> On a phone call with
government groups I asked them
to very proactively to make
sure that they were as a team
going and contacting those who
were reporting on it to make
sure they were clear on what
the ask was. Also, from this
morning, I've been working on
the processes in place that
have allowed this situation to
make sure we can correct that
also. >> REPORTER: Any concern
that testing stations may be
overloaded as a result of
this? >> Not that has been
reported to me and I think if
we can get the message out,
and as you understand, I have
asked how far and wide the

English: 
communications have gone and
what channels were shared but
as has been explained to me,
the information in the body
was correct, the headline was
not. >> REPORTER: The people
in the south-western corner
have been asked to get tested
but had they also been told to
self isolate until test
results are back? >> Again,
we're not asking everybody to
do a test. Dr McElnay will set
out where there is a
difference and if you are
symptomatic, isolate, but if
you are not, do not. >>
Certainly, if you are
symptomatic and have had a
test you should self isolate
until the results are known of
it is. There may be some other
specific examples of
situations where the public
health unit has done some
contact tracing in which case
they will advise you to self
isolate until your results are
available. Outside of those
generally, if you are
asymptomatic you would not
need to self isolate. >>

clearly set out that if things
continued as we anticipated,

we made the decision.
Remember, we said Auckland
would have different settings

been in anticipation of the

the method we have asked.
They have been advised of
this. Some hours ago. I will
be following up on that again.
I do appreciate the help of
everyone in this room to make
sure we get that clear and
consistent messaging up there
as we intend.
>> REPORTER: how strict will
mark wearing be enforced on
transport tomorrow?
>> JACINDA ARDERN: it is now
part of a health order. There
is a very clear expectation
that people be wearing masks.
We will be mindful and we have
worked alongside transport
providers to make sure that in
these early stages, we are
working to really support
people around masks and face
coverings. So they have some
tools, options available to
them that if people have
nothing, they can support

English: 
people so that we don't have
people stranded as a result of
not having masks and face
coverings. That won't be of
course forever, but in these
early days, we want to create
an environment where we
support people to hear and
learn about what we are
asking, but also comply.
>> REPORTER: last time we went
down from alert level three
two we had three days of zero
cases. Now we have got a
handful in Auckland. Is your
decision a political one or a
HELP1?
>> JACINDA ARDERN: of the
reasons I wanted to actually
share again the framework was
to be clear that actually this
framework, this hasn't at its
core changed. This has been
the same all the way through,
and within that we have talked
about there being community
transmission and active
clusters. So that is what the
framework is designed for.
Have added a layer to it, so
for Auckland we are very
mindful of the status of the
cluster at the moment. That is
why they have extra

that. The framework has always
been designed like that. Never
ever have we made a political
decision in the management of
COVID-19. Have made health
-based decisions and evidenced
based decisions because that
is the best way we support our
economy and I am going to
stick with that model of
decision-making.
>> REPORTER: On masks, why is
that we haven't you mandated
the use, didn't say you
reserve the right to do so.
Wife has a government not done
that now?
>> JACINDA ARDERN: I will ask
Dr McElnay to speak as well,
but one of the things of
mandating the use of public
transport even, there are a
range of issues you have to
become mindful of. How do you
make sure you are enforcing
it, what is a penalty regime,
who is responsible for
enforcing, for instance, would
you require retailers to bar
people from entering a job if

English: 
they are not wearing a mask?
You have to think about what
happens of cases in
escalation. It is not a simple
thing to ask suddenly mandate
and create a legal framework
around that. We are going as
far as we can, though, in
saying we are strongly
encouraging the use, and as a
cabinet, we will reserve the
right to mandate if we believe
that it is not being
appropriately used,
particularly in Auckland where
we are really encouraging that
use.
>> REPORTER: Dr Caroline
McElnay I will reiterate what
the prime ministers as and our
advice was focused on what
should be mandated. An alert
level two environment, which
is a low-level of community
transmission. We considered
that the highest risk was in a
public transport situation and
uncontrolled environment and
that therefore there would be
merit in mandating mask use in
that environment, but that is

English: 
a different situation to
generally encouraging mask
wearing in addition to all the
other public health
interventions that are
available.
>> JACINDA ARDERN: Keeping in
mind, level two very clearly
social distancing is required,
and so social distancing in
retail, social distancing and
hospitality are all built into
the rules. Mask use is not a
replacement for social
distancing. It must be in
addition, and this is
something that health
officials have been very clear
on. I wouldn't want anyone to
think if you have a mask, you
can then be enclosed by
committee to strangers. We are
asking for both and embedded
in our system is both.
>> REPORTER: People were on
the legal matter, is that
something you have asked them
to go away and work on in the
background?
>> JACINDA ARDERN: I think
they are very... I couldn't
say they haven't because they
are very conscious of the
things they set out. When we
talk about these potentials,
they will often go away and do
the background work.

because they were aware of
COVID-19 within the family.
>> REPORTER: Our concern is
it...
>> JACINDA ARDERN: They were
tested as well. They were
tested early on and tested
negative and subsequently have
tested positive. That is
something we have encountered
in our first wave. We had
healthcare workers who wore
PPE, who were very well
trained, experienced in PPE
use who still contracted
COVID-19. This is, again,
highlights how tricky it is
and so that is why we had the
protocols that we have. Health

continue to do so.

health advice with concerns or
advising against the alert

have let Dr McElnay speak. She
has shared the perspective of
top as I outlined earlier, the
very clear advice to Health
was if we are to make sure
that we are really containing
and continue to undertake and
stamp it out at level two,
those extra limits on, for
instance, social gatherings
were really key. That is why
we bake that into the first
decision, because they
anticipated how important it
would be as lifted out of
level three restrictions and
so that is why that is there,
that is what walking is in a
form of 2.5. That is based on
public health advice.

>> JACINDA ARDERN: I am still
comfortable because of course
the rest of the country is in
that full alert level two. The
way we described last time, we
called it stepping into alert
level two. I think it is just
easier to describe it as a
form of 2.5. I think for those
on the ground we know that
Auckland people have extra
restrictions on them that the

English: 
rest of the country doesn't,
and whether or not you call it
2.5 will not, the message is
clear, we have the
restrictions in place for a
reason. They are there to
support our stamp it out plan

strategy will only be as good
as our people, so we are
asking people to make sure
they observe it, they did last

ana kei te whakaae te
kawanatanga ki nga punaha kei
roto tuu atu inaianei, kia nui
ake te whakawhirinaki ki aua
punaha, na reira ka whakamahi.
Nga taumata mataaratanga e
korerohia ana, a, ko te keehi,
he aha te mea i muri mai? He
aha te mahi a te kawanatanga
hei mahi ake hei whanake i te
whakautu? JACINDA
ARDERN: Ki nga mea. Te tuatahi,
ko te punaha, me te tu tonu, ko
nga kaupapa whanui whanui o ta
matou i korero ai i te wa
tuatahi. Ko te mea e tu ana
tatou ki te taumata tuawhitu. I
tino angitu ki te neke tere ai
matou ki muri na roto i te anga
anga matatau. Kaore rawa i
hiahiatia kia kore te anga
mataara i te anga nga keehi i
te taumata tuarua. Heoi ano ko
nga tamariki katoa, ka taea e
matou te tae ki reira, i whai
waahi maatau ki te tae ki taua
waahi na te mea. He nui ake nga
tautau o taatau whenua.

English: 
the form of lockdown while
case numbers are still
present. It shows that...
Acknowledged the government is
accepting the systems in place
now, putting more trust in
those systems and therefore
using the alert levels as
described, and that being the
case, what is next? What will
the government do next to
develop the response?
>> JACINDA ARDERN: To things.
Firstly, the system, as it
stood, the broad principles of
that where what we were saying
the first time. We happen to
be in a position where we had
level four which was very
successful in moving us very
quickly back down through the
alert level framework. It was
never that the alert level
framework required zero cases
at level two. Just happened
that was the children every,
we managed to get there, we
did take a bit of time to get
to that place because of the
clusters we had across the
country was wider, cybernetic
that I gave other reassurance.
That is what happened in the

Maori: 
cybernetic i hoatu e au etahi
atu whakamana. Koina te kaupapa
i puta i te rauna tuatahi.
Engari i tika taatau i Ae, he
maatau punaha he punaha. Ka
taea e taatau te whakahaere i
te ahua o te tautau to tatou, i
roto i te taumata 2. 5 taiao
engari ko taatau ka taea te
mahi mena ka ora tonu te
tangata aua ture. Ana mena he
keehi kei reira i waatea ai
taatau. He aukati engari he iwi
nui tonu te huihuinga, te
tangata ranei. Kaua e whai i
nga haerenga hapori, ka haere
ranei te tangata ki te mahi. I
patai ratou, kaore e mahi,
kaore e pai ki nga waahi katoa.
Ko te ao na reira ka
whakawhirinaki tatou ki ta
tatou punaha, engari ko tatou
te tuu haere ano hoki o te
whakawhirinaki ki ta matou kapa
5 miriona.
Kairipoata: He aha te
kawanatanga e tika ana ki te
kaha ake o nga tohu. Kia whai
muri mai ko te pakarutanga he
taumata tuarua noa iho kaore i
te 2.5. Kei te mohio ahau ki te

English: 
first round. But we rightly
picked up that yes we have
very solid systems. We have
the ability to be able to
manage the nature of the
cluster that we have, in an a
level 2.5 environment but we
can only do that if people
live by those rules. So if we
have a situation where we put
out those restrictions but
people continue to have large
gatherings or people don't
follow social distancing or
people go to work when they
asked, it won't work, and it
won't work anywhere in the
world so we are placing trust
in our system, but we are also
placing trust in our team of 5
million. >> REPORTER: What
should the government due to
further bolster symptoms so
that next time an outbreak
occurs just be level two and
not 2.5. >> I know the port
you making, but part it comes
down to the nature of the

English: 
outbreak ? ? in part, I know
the point you are making. We
have able to trace it at
AmeriCorps in Wellington on
July 30 four -- July 31. In
Americold, and we are linked
to that workplace and there
were symptomatic people there.
That told us that could have
been wider chains of
transmission we were aware of
and that is why we had to use
the alert levels in the first
place, to get a good
understanding of what was
going on, the sense of the
perimeter of the cost and once
we had that powerful
information around the
genomics, knowing we had one
was very, very helpful and key
to getting us to where we are
now. That is what has been
imported in the
decision-making and that is
why three was used as a tool
in the beginning and that's
why we have moved to the

Maori: 
tauranga e hanga ana e koe,
engari he waahanga ka heke iho
k natura o te putanga?? i
tetahi wahanga, kei te mohio au
ki te take e whaia ana e koe.
We kua taea ki te tirotirohia.
I AmeriCorps i Poneke Hurae 30
wha- Hurae 31. I roto.
Americanold, a he hono atu
taatau ki taua waahi mahi a
reira kua nga tangata whakaari
i reira. I korero tera ki a
maatau pea he nui ake nga
mekameka tuku. I mohiohia
maatau e pa ana ki te whakamahi
i te mataara taumata i roto i
te wahi tuatahi, kia whiwhi i
te maarama pai o nga mea. I
haere tonu, te ahua o te
perimeter o te utu me te. I te
wa i kaha ai to maatau korero
mo te ira tangata, te mohio kei
a matou tetahi he tino awhina,
he tino awhina me te ki te tiki
tatou ki te wahi kei konei
tatou. Koinei te mea i kawemai
i roto i te whakataunga
whakatau me tera. Te take i
whakamahia ai e toru hei
taputapu ki te tiimata me te

English: 
restrictions we have now. >>
REPORTER: People are urged to
do digital contact tracing and
we are told the mix of tracing
is required, what is most
urgent to you for the
government to prevent the next
outbreak? >> My view is that
all the fundamentals for a
system that allows us to stamp
COVID-19, we have. Everything
else we do is in addition to
tweak the system as we go and
learn from COVID-19. If
anything, I very much believe
that New Zealand has proven
itself to be agile, with
border mask use because of the
evidence and we have used QR
codes as an additional tool
and we will keep using
technological systems but they
are in addition to an existing
very strong foundation. We
have now a national contact
tracing system that links up

Maori: 
take kua neke taatau ki nga
taapiri kei a tatou inaianei.
Kairipoata: Nga tangata. Akiaki
mahi i te whakapapaki whakapiri
a ka korerotia ki a matou i te.
Hiahiatia te ranunga o te
hikoi, he aha te mea e tino
hiahiatia ana mo koe te aukati
hei aukati i te putanga o muri?
Ko taku tirohanga ko nga
putunga moni katoa mo te punaha
e tika ana tuku tatou ki te
peke i te COVID-19, kei a
matou. Mea katoa inaare ko
taatau he taapiri atu
whakahoroa i te punaha rite
haere ana matou ka ako mai i
COVID-19. Mena he aha, ka
whakapono nui au kei a Niu
Tireni tenei. Whakamatauria ia
he ngawari, me te whakamahinga
o te kanohi kanohi na te mea.
Nga taunakitanga me ta matou i
whakamahi i nga waehere QR hei
taapiri taputapu a ka whakamahi
tonu tatou. Pnaha hangarau
engari he taapiri hoki ki te he

English: 
the country, meaning we can
have a national contact
tracing Centre as well as on
the ground individuals with
the public health unit. We can
deploy public health units
into the areas where we have a
significant cluster or
outbreak. We are lastly in a
better situation than we were
when we had a much more
significant outbreak in the
beginning. Again, the system
will only be as good as the
people so my final note is to
everyone, thank you for what
you have done to date, but we
need you to keep going and
this is imperative. There is
of course always the chance we
will need more restrictions in
the future, unless we all work
together. So, on that note,
thank you, everyone.

he punaha tiriti aa-motu e hono

ka taea e tatou te whakapiki i
nga hononga a-motu. Pokap me

Ka taea e taatau te tuku i nga
waahanga hauora tmatanui ki

kua mahia e koe r, engari kei
