A staff member at police headquarters in Auckland has tested positive for Covid-19.
The Herald understands the person works in a non-sworn role at Harlech House in Otāhuhu.
They had been to work for one shift several days after being exposed to a family member who was a positive case.
However, because they were at work just outside the 48-hour window before the onset of self-reported symptoms, nobody in the office is considered a close contact.
The site has not been shared as a public location of interest - thought to be because all staff sign in and out via key cards.
Following Herald inquiries, police confirmed that "a non-constabulary staff member in Tāmaki Makaurau has tested positive".
