A Covid-19 case has been confirmed at an Auckland care centre.
Summerset Village manager Brian Gabolinscy confirmed in an email that a case had been detected in the group's Manukau care centre.
"The resident is not currently in the care centre. The District Health Board (DHB) has been notified and have endorsed the measures in place to monitor residents and staff for Covid-19."
This comes as 1901 new Covid-19 cases were recorded in the community, bringing the total number of active community cases to 11,601.
Gabolinscy said all staff were being tested with rapid antigen tests (RATs) prior to coming on shift and residents were being monitored closely for symptoms and tested daily using RATs.
