Few areas in Nawaka have now gone into complete lockdown from this morning.

The places that have been cordoned off include the entrance into Nawaka Road, Korociri, Nawajikuma, Nawaka tramline and Qina settlement.

FBC News has been told that from today no one was allowed in or out.

People are also not allowed to enter from the Nawaka junction.

Residents that live in the surrounding areas but are not part of the containment zones have been advised to use other alternative roads for now.

Nawaka village is also still open and is using other access to move in and out without coming into the containment zones.
