"Please sign up for the app if you haven't already done so and when you have it, keep using it.

The final significant cluster is due to close on Monday, July 6.
The cluster is believed to be the deadly CHT St Margaret's Hospital and Rest Home in Te Atatu.
The Ministry of Health says a cluster is considered closed when there have been no new cases for two incubation periods (ie, 28 days) from the date when all cases complete isolation.
The origin of the outbreak that claimed the lives of elderly patients at the hospital was never found.
