The Auckland Regional Public Health Service (ARPHS) confirmed that the driver did not interact with the passengers because they used the back door to enter and exit the bus. He also said that the case is connected to the Auckland groups and that the driver did not contract COVID-19 while working.
Passengers were also seated at least two meters from the driver and there were no cash transactions, only HOP cards were used.
He said there were 319 passengers who traveled on this service during the two days between the Hibiscus Coast and Auckland city center.
“Anyone riding the bus with the driver at this time is a casual contact, with a low risk of developing the virus. They do not have to isolate themselves, but they should get tested if they develop COVID-19 symptoms.” ARPHS said.
“This case highlights the importance of all public transportation passengers scanning QR codes with the NZ COVID Tracer app in addition to swiping their AT HOP cards. This provides another way to alert people when they may have been exposed to COVID-19. along with the use of the HOP card registration information. “
Staff who drove the bus after the case were asked to take a test, he said, and CCTV footage from the bus station is being reviewed to see if other staff members are close contacts.
