Two new cases of COVID-19 in New Zealand, one in locked-down Rotorua hotel

New Zealand has two new cases of COVID-19, taking the total number of active cases to 12.

One of the cases is in managed isolation - a woman in her 60s who flew into the country from India on June 18 on the Air India repatriation flight.

She was staying at the Pullman Hotel in Auckland but has now been transferred to the Jet Park quarantine facility.

Health chief Ashley Bloomfield has also confirmed there is a positive case in Rotorua following the city's Ibis Hotel being put into lockdown.

He says there will be a quarantine facility in Rotorua or Christchurch similar to the Jet Park Hotel in Auckland to handle any positive cases.

Since June 16 when the two sisters who flew in from Britain returned positive tests, there has been more than 45,000 tests done across the country.
