Covid-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins says they are still waiting on geonomic testing from the positive cases in Taipa.
He told Morning Report contact tracers are exploring any possible links, including the two uncooperative women who travelled to the North last month against public health orders and later tested positive.
But if the two women were had contributed to the outbreak it's unlikely they directly passed Covid-19 on to the cases in Taipa.
"We would have expected to have picked that up before now if there was a direct link."
