There are three community cases, two siblings who are students at Papatoetoe High School, and their household contact.
There was also one new case in MIQ on Wednesday.
Schools in Auckland can reopen. But Papatoetoe High School will remain closed for the rest of the week.
Teachers and students from that school must return a negative test before returning next week.
Covid-19 alert level 3 took effect in Auckland at 11.59pm on Sunday
The Government is making it easier for businesses to get one of its support measures - if current alert levels are extended.
People identified as contacts or who were at the locations of interest are being asked to get tested.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
