Former RNZ reporter Alexa Cook who arrived in the country from the UK on 13 June, said they were rung on their hotel room's phone by a member of the Defence Force around 8.30pm last evening, and told to stay in their rooms until receiving further instructions. The Defence Force did not tell her how many people had been tested today but said the new case is in one bubble. She says around 300 people staying in the hotel are all confined to their rooms. The Prime Minister's office, the Ministry of Defence and the Ministry of Health are declining to comment ahead of today's media briefing.

Tooth decay
Tooth decay happens when acids wear away the tooth's hard surface layer, called enamel. These acids are made by a sticky film called plaque.
Plaque build-up on teeth has germs that feed on sugary foods. The process of digesting these sugars makes acids that attack tooth surfaces.
Over a period of time, tooth decay can cause holes in the tooth surface. These are called tooth cavities. If left untreated, cavities can get bigger. They can even destroy the tooth.
There are different stages of tooth decay
First Stage - The dull spot on the tooth's surface may be decay. Brushing teeth with a fluoride toothpaste and flossing may prevent it from becoming a tooth cavity.
Second Stage - The tooth decay is now a cavity. It has gone through the tooth's hard surface layer.
Third Stage - Now that the tooth decay has reached the softer layer of the tooth, it will get bigger faster.
Fourth Stage - If the cavity is not filled, it can cause bigger problems deeper in the tooth.
Here are some tips to help prevent tooth decay:
Avoid eating a lot of sugary foods. Cut down on snacks between meals. This will help prevent plaque from making acid. It will also reduce the number of times your teeth are exposed to acids.
Eat a diet high in calcium. Calcium helps strengthen tooth surfaces.Drink plenty of water, especially if you take certain medicines. Some medicines can decrease the amount of saliva your body makes.
Use a toothpaste and mouthwash with fluoride. Fluoride helps make tooth surfaces harder and stronger

Since May 16, outdoor water restrictions across the city have set water usage targets for 410 million litres a day or less. Aucklanders have also been encouraged to limit showers to four minutes. The dams were 44.8 per cent full yesterday when normally they would be 78.4 per cent full. Goff said planning has started for a worst case scenario, which includes options for turning off water for part of the day and reducing water pressure to a trickle in homes, which use 70 per cent of the city's dwindling water supply. Businesses would also face disruption in the post-Covid economic recovery phase "which we desperately want to avoid", he said. The shortage of water in Auckland's nine dams is due to a significant lack of rain, including 78 days with less than 1mm of rain from January 20 to April 6. The region has recorded less than half of its normal rainfall since November last year. This week, Watercare invoked emergency power to take an extra 15 million litres of water a day from the Waikato River to increase production from the river to 165 million litres a day and reduce demand on the region's drought-hit dams. The council-owned water company has brought a dam in Papakura and a bore in Pukekohe back into service that will add 11 million litres of water a day. Watercare is also negotiating with Hamilton City Council to use 25 million litres a day of the council's allocation on a temporary basis, and has had a resource consent application before the Waikato Regional Council since 2013 to take a further 200 million litres of water a day.
Watercare chief executive Raveen Jaduram said the situation was becoming critical. "This week we received a seasonal weather forecast suggesting the rest of winter and spring will be drier than normal," said Jaduram, adding that as well as Watercare increasing water sources, Aucklanders need to do their bit and reduce their water use by at least 20 litres a day per person. Goff said the use of emergency power highlighted the urgency of the situation and the need to explore every single source of water supply to head off the crisis. He too urged people to reduce water usage. The mayor had some stern words for Watercare, saying it provided high quality water and wastewater but had not planned adequately for exceptional weather conditions and severe drought.
"That is what we are facing at the moment. I think this is a wake-up call for them," he said. Goff also wants Watercare to consider temporary or long-term desalination, recycling of wastewater and making it easier for people to install water tanks in urban areas. He said a report is coming from council strategy chief Megan Tyler to look at scrapping resource consents for water tanks and providing incentives for people to use rainwater to water the garden, wash the house and car, and feed through the toilet system. Rainwater tanks are compulsory on most new houses in Sydney to meet a mains water saving target of 40 per cent. Auckland councillor Daniel Newman, who has worked for Watercare, said dealing with consenting issues to install water tanks is a modest suggestion.
The bigger issue, he said, has been the planning failure to address water security and transport while tackling the housing crisis. "Packing in housing, whether townhouses, apartments, greenfield subdivisions and infill housing has triggered more and more demand for services that we simply do not have. "Warning of chronic infrastructure deficits were ignored when preparing the Auckland Unitary Plan," Newman said.
