Verrall called the low numbers of unlinked cases a "good sign" and was adamant the current outbreak is close to being "under control".
Verrall was speaking after 13 new cases of Covid-19 were announced earlier today. The cases included a truck driver who tested positive after crossing Auckland's alert level 4 border.
The driver was tested after isolating for being a household contact of another case, director-general of health Dr Ashley Bloomfield said.
"I think the key thing to keep an eye on is most of our cases are coming from a handful of households now."
As well as being an MP, Verrall is also an infectious-diseases physician.
She said if there were any locations of interest linked to the positive truck driver, the locations will be released soon.

There may be no locations of interest, Bloomfield said.
