Timeline of the COVID-19 pandemic in New Zealand (2021)
This article documents the timeline of transmission of COVID-19 during the COVID-19 pandemic in New Zealand throughout 2021. The following dates and times are in New Zealand Daylight Time (UTC+13) until 3 April and New Zealand Standard Time (UTC+12) from 4 April.
On 14 February 2021, at 11:59 pm, Auckland moved up to alert level 3 and the rest of New Zealand to level 2 after new community cases were detected in Auckland during level 1.[1] On 17 February at 11:59 pm, Auckland moved down to level 2 and the rest of the country to level 1.[2] On 22 February at 11:59 pm, Auckland moved down to level 1.[3] On 28 February at 6:00 am, Auckland moved back up to level 3 while the rest of New Zealand moved to level 2.[4] On 7 March at 6:00 am, Auckland moved back to level 2 while the rest of New Zealand moved to level 1.[5] On 12 March, Auckland moved back to level 1 at midday.[6]
On 17 August 2021 at 11:59 pm, after a report of a new community case presumed to be infected with the Delta variant of the virus earlier that day, New Zealand moved to alert level 4, entering a nationwide lockdown for a minimum of three days.[7]
On 1 September 2021, Auckland and the Northland Region remained on Alert Level 4 while the rest of the country transitioned into Alert Level 3 from 1 September 2021.[8][9] On 8 September, all of New Zealand except Auckland moved into Alert Level 2 at 11:59pm on 7 September. However, mandatory mask wearing and limits on both indoor and outdoor gatherings of 50 and 100 people respectively were introduced.[10] On 22 September, Auckland moved down to Alert Level 3 while the rest of the country remained on Alert Level 2. Event limit restrictions were also relaxed for areas under Level 2, with 100 people being allowed in indoor hospitality venues.[11][12]
On 4 October, Alert Level three restrictions were reinstated in several parts of Waikato including Raglan, Huntly, Ngāruawāhia and Hamilton following the detection of community cases.[13] On 7 October, Level 3 restrictions in the Waikato were extended to include a wider area including Te Kūiti, the Waipa District, Ōtorohanga, Te Awamutu, Karapiro and Cambridge.[14] On 8 October, Alert Level 3 restrictions were reinstated in the Northland Region after a positive case from Auckland visited the region.[15]
On 2 November, the Waikato region transitioned to step 2 of Alert Level 3. Step 2 allows retailers to operate with face masks and physical distance; increased the number of people at outdoor gatherings to 25; and eliminated the two-household restriction.[16] On 10 November, Auckland transitioned to step 2 of Alert Level 3 from 10 November. As a result, retailers, museums, and zoos reopened while outdoor gatherings were allowed with a 23-person limit. The Far North District, which entered into a Level 3 lockdown the previous week, moved down to Alert Level 2 on 12 November.[17]
On 3 December, New Zealand transitioned into the COVID-19 Protection Framework ("Traffic light system), ending the previous "alert level system". Auckland and areas in the North Island with low vaccination started on the Red setting while the rest of the country commenced on the Orange setting.[18][19] On 15 December, the Government lifted the internal border around Auckland, easing travel to and from the metropolitan region.[20] On 31 December, most areas under the Red setting with the exception of the Northland Region transitioned to the Orange setting.[21]

On 7 January, two of the four new border cases were linked to the British B.1.1.7 strain.[47]
On 10 January, 19 of the 31 new cases had the B.1.1.7 strain from the United Kingdom, via the United Arab Emirates, Qatar or Singapore. In addition, New Zealand reported its first case of the South African 501.V2 variant. Eleven of the new cases were from a group of international mariners that arrived on 6 January.[48]
On 15 January, two of the new 18 cases were historical while the others came from several countries including South Africa, the United Kingdom, the United States, Bahrain, Russia, the United Arab Emirates, Italy, India and Malaysia.[49]
On 24 January, a new probable case in the community was reported in Northland. The individual had previously been through an Auckland quarantine facility.[50] Later that night, the Director-General Ashley Bloomfield confirmed that the probable case in Northland was the country's first community transmission in two months.[51] The individual was a 56-year-old woman who had returned from Europe and had completed a 14-day stay in managed isolation at Auckland's Pullman Hotel on 13 January.[52]
On 25 January, the Director-General Bloomfield confirmed that the Northland community transmission patient had contracted the South African strain Lineage B.1.1.248. That same day, the Health Ministry released a list of 28 businesses in Auckland and Northland that the patient had visited in the period between 14 and 22 January. Health authorities also identified 15 close contacts of the patient including her husband and a hairdresser who tested negative.[53]
On 27 January, the Health Ministry reported that the close contacts of the Northland community case had tested negative for the virus.[54] That same day, the Health Ministry confirmed that two possible COVID-19 cases were being investigated in the Auckland community after testing positive. These two individuals had stayed at Auckland's Pullman Hotel, where the Northland community case had previously stayed.[55]
On 28 January, health authorities confirmed that the two individuals from Pullman Hotel (an adult and a child), had tested positive, making them two new community transmissions.[56]
On 29 January, the Health Ministry also announced that it would revert to issuing daily reports.[42]
On 30 January, one previously reported case has now recovered while three cases reported previously have been reclassified as under investigation. The new case involves a person who arrived from the United States on 28 January. In addition, all close contacts of the border-related cases have tested negative.[57]

On 6 February, one new community transmission was reported in Hamilton, which was linked to the Pullman Hotel in Auckland. Director of Public Health Dr Caroline McElnay described the case as a recently returned asymptomatic case who had left the Pullman Hotel on 30 January.[85]
On 7 February, two of the new cases originated via travel from Zambia and the United Arab Emirates. In addition, health authorities confirmed the Hamilton community transmission as the fifth community case reported in 2021.[86]
On 13 February, the Health Ministry confirmed the death of a returning COVID-19 patient, who had died of a non-COVID-19 related illness at North Shore Hospital on 5 February. This patient was not included in the COVID-19 official death toll.[87]
On 14 February, COVID-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins identified the three community cases as three members of family (a mother, father, and daughter) from Papatoetoe, South Auckland. The mother worked at the airline catering service LSG Sky Chefs while the father worked as a tradesperson. The daughter was a Year 9 student at Papatoetoe High School. Two of the confirmed cases had visited New Plymouth on 6–7 February and also visited Pak'nSave supermarket chain's Manukau branch. The family was moved to Jetpark managed isolation and quarantine facility. Papatoetoe High School principal Vaughan Couillaut announced that the school would close on Monday and Tuesday. Five teachers and 28 students at the school were identified as close contacts of the infected student while all other students and staff at the school were considered "casual" contacts.[88] In response to the new community cases in Auckland, Auckland moved to Alert level 3 at 11:59 pm, while the rest of New Zealand moved to Alert level 2.[1]
On 17 February, the three new community cases included a pair of siblings who attended Papatoetoe High School and knew the student at the center of the city's latest community cluster. The third community case worked at the McDonald's restaurant in Cavendish Drive. That same day, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced that Auckland's Level 3 lockdown would end at midnight since the minimal number of new community cases and wastewater testing suggested that the new community transmission was not "widespread." The rest of the country would go into Level 1.[89][90] That same day, a sixth community case was reported with the individual being in the same household as the two siblings announced earlier today.[91]
On 23 February, two new cases were reported and linked to the Papatoetoe High School cluster.[92]
On 26 February, the media reported that a family member of a COVID-19 positive student from Papatoetoe High School had defied orders to isolate at home and went to work at the KFC in Botany Downs.[93]
On 27 February, the older sibling of a Papatoetoe High School casual plus contact tested positive for COVID-19. As a result, the Government placed Auckland under an Alert Level 3 lockdown for the next seven days, with the rest of the country going back to Alert Level 2.[94]
On the evening of 28 February, authorities confirmed a new case that was linked to the Auckland February cluster known as "Case O." Case O is a household contact of Cases I, J, K, and L.[95]

- ^ a b c The large increase in recovered cases on these dates is due to changes in case definitions. Starting from 16 December 2021, active cases were automatically considered recovered after 21 days, after previously requiring clearance from a medical practitioner.[22] On 4 March 2022 this period was reduced to 10 days, and from 18 March it was reduced further to 7 days.
- ^ a b Changes in the number of deaths reported on these dates are due to redefinitions of Covid deaths. Initially, a Covid death was reported when COVID-19 was a confirmed or likely cause of death. Starting on 10 March 2022, Covid deaths were reported automatically when a person died within 28 days of testing positive for COVID-19, or when deaths were clearly linked to COVID-19 after 28 days.[23] From 26 July 2022, a Covid death is reported when COVID-19 is considered the underlying or a contributory cause; previously reported deaths not meeting the new definition were removed from the total number of Covid deaths.[24]
- ^ From 2 November, Northern Northland only.
- ^ From 4 October 2021 comprising Raglan, Te Kauwhata, Huntly, Ngāruawāhia, Hamilton City and some surrounding areas. This area was extended on 9 October to include Waitomo District, including Te Kūiti, Waipa District and Ōtorohanga District.[506]
