The Perth Covid cluster has spread to New Zealand with two travellers from the same household forced into isolation after being declared casual contacts of an infected man.
New Zealand's Ministry of Health scrambled to contact 1,000 passengers who arrived in the country on direct flights from Perth on April 19, 21 and 23 after the city and the Peel region was plunged into a three-day lockdown from midnight Friday.
'Of those, two people from the same household have let health authorities know they were in the Perth domestic terminal at the time specified in the locations of interest page,' the ministry said in a statement on Sunday.
