There are only two new Auckland locations of interest released by the Ministry of Health this evening.
A Whangārei Subway store and New World in Warkworth are the most recent Northland and north Auckland locations of interest.
There's also an extra date added to six previous visits to the central Auckland high-rise apartment complex, Urban Residences, in Howe St, just off Karangahape Rd.
A resident at the 10-storey apartment building, Michael Brenndorfer, said residents had been informed there had been a positive case of someone staying in the building between October 1 and October 7 who had Covid and that a positive case had visited the building in late September and early October.

Casual contacts in the 144 apartments are being asked to get a Covid-19 test.
Brenndorfer, who is a nurse, said the risk is quite low "but it is a good reminder Covid is out in the community and a few steps away from each of us".
The Ministry is asking anyone was at Subway Whangārei on Monday October 4 between 1.30pm and 3pm to self-monitor for Covid symptoms for 14 days.
"If symptoms develop, get a test and stay at home until you get a negative test result AND until 24 hours after symptoms resolve," the ministry says.
The ministry is also asking anyone who was at the Thornlow Road Laundromat in Glendene during the early hours of Friday, October to self-isolate for 14 days.
The hours of interest are between midnight and 2am.
If symptoms do develop they are asked to get a test and stay at home until they get a negative test result, and until 24 hours after symptoms resolve.
There are now a total of 376 active locations of interest on the Ministry's website.
It comes after there were 43 new Covid-19 cases announced today, three of which are in Waikato.
Yesterday, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern confirmed Auckland would stay in level 3 for another week, while Waikato and Northland's situation would be reassessed tomorrow.
