A temporary testing station was set up at Te Papa during the weekend. The ministry did report 10 new Covid-19 cases picked up in managed isolation facilities bringing the total active infections in New Zealand to 28. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern told media on Monday afternoon that Cabinet was investigating making masks and location QR code scanning mandatory in certain high-risk situations. “We’ll be looking to make decisions on that next week. Places we are considering are those where there is increased risk and where people are in close quarters like bars and restaurants.” Under consideration would be people being required by law to wear masks during alert level 2 or higher in these locations.
