Just 13km south of Whangamata, the small settlement of Whiritoa is not part of the Government's initial seven-day Coromandel lockdown, Hauraki Mayor Toby Adams has confirmed.
The Hauraki District could move out of level 4 if the Government does not extend its initial lockdown period of three days for regions other than Auckland and the Coromandel.
Following a community case of a man with the Delta variant in Auckland - who visited Coromandel township - all of New Zealand has been in alert level 4 lockdown since 11.59pm on Tuesday for three days, while the Coromandel Peninsula and Auckland are in level 4 lockdown for seven days from that time.
