That would bring the total number of cases in the outbreak past the 500 mark.
It comes as the Ministry of Health confirms 73 out of the 429 confirmed cases in the outbreak are essential workers.
A spokesperson says they are still investigating how many of these were identified after the lockdown started.
Of the cases recorded between August 18 and 27 ... over 70 percent haven't been linked through their household to other cases.
The rest of the country, south of Auckland, is still poised to move out of lockdown at 11:59 PM Tuesday.
