A flight from Rarotonga to Auckland has been listed as a Covid-19 location of interest.

The Cook Islands has never had a confirmed community case of the virus.

Flight NZ 945 arrived in Auckland on Tuesday 8 February at 5.30pm.

Anyone who was in rows 53 to 57 is considered a close contact.

This means they must self-isolate and get tested immediately.

Quarantine-free travel between New Zealand and Cook Islands resumed on 14 January for people aged over five who are fully vaccinated.

Almost 100 percent - 99.6 percent - of the islands' population aged 12 and over is fully vaccinated, and 70 percent of those eligible have had their booster shots.

All locations of interest can be found here.
