Two cases in Tauranga have been linked to the January Omicron cluster.
A Ministry of Health spokesperson today said they were being treated as Omicron cases and whole-genome sequencing was underway to confirm the variant.
There are also two new cases of Covid-19 in Rotorua. The Rotorua cases were not listed among the Omicron cases.
The two Tauranga cases are in the same household and are isolating at home, the Ministry of Health said.
