Some are wondering if Aucklanders have become a little too relaxed in the face of the ever-present threat of Covid-19.
While the rest of the country is at alert level 1, for at least this week Auckland is at alert level 2 meaning people can go to workplaces and schools are open but there are limits on gathering sizes and no mingling at restaurants and bars.
After seven days of no community cases linked to the Papatoetoe cluster, it was an aircrew member who broke the streak and was recorded as the country s first case outside of managed isolation in that time.
