Dear Sir/Madam
Transfer of your request for official information
Thank you for your request under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act) on 2 March 2021
for:
“request details about the communications between the Ministry of Health and COVID-19
cases L, M, N, and O in the February 14 2021 cluster (Valentine's Day cluster).
Specifically, what messages/communications, and how many, were sent to these cases
listed regarding self isolation before and after testing.”
I have been advised that your request is more closely connected with the functions of Auckland

under section 14 of the Act. You can expect a response from ADHB in due course.
Under section 28(3) of the Act you have the right to ask the Ombudsman to review any
decisions made under this request. The Ombudsman may be contacted by email at:
