Mine read it aloud too once I swiped the Lockscreen away.

invisibleman18: Just the news we want 6 days out from our wedding. I guess at least it gives us time to get in touch with the various suppliers to make a plan rather than it being the night before.

Interesting mine read the notification out aloud - first time IIRC.

 

My fathers nokia read it out in an American female voice, and flashed the LED. But my samsung note didn't, it just had an alarm. My iphone just vibrated with a full screen message.

IMO , it sounds like the possibility of moving up levels for Auckland. Level 3?, and maybe level 2 for the rest of NZ? Basing this on it likely being the UK or SA version and what has happened in Perth. Guessing it will occur on Monday.

 

At least it was a fairly predictable announcement. Guessing they are concerned there maybe others out there that are positive and have not been tested, and whether they have been involved in gatherings. It really relies now on people being tested to find other cases. 3 days does sound short considering the time delay in getting people out to be tested, and the time delay in tests being done. I haven't been follow testing numbers recently but guessing they have been reasonably  low in the community up until a few weeks ago. Scan Scan Scan.

Jas777: They were in taranaki a week ago. If it is the U.K. version you would think there would be a positive case by now

Takes up to 14 days, and some possible outliers. I understand the UK strain is more contagious, and maybe more deadly,  but don't think it displays symptoms any sooner. https://www.businessinsider.in/science/news/uk-coronavirus-variant-could-be-more-lethal-than-original-strain-possibly-by-up-to-70-percent-scientists-say/articleshow/80906286.cms

Here we go again!

We're in Wellington and going to be under half the level 2 gathering limit. So ok in that regard. But some vital people such as photographer and my parents would be coming from Auckland. So would almost have been easier to just get an announcement that means it's all off now rather than potentially not know things until Friday night.

I know but the normal incubation period is around 5 days. If it was going to be a big outbreak in taranaki you would expect at least 1 case by now

the 2 people who travelled in the same car as the couple tested negative ,so Taranaki might have just dodged a bullet and they werent infectious at that stage.

My iPhone was on silent and remained exactly that - silent.

My pixel wasn't on silent and the alarm was very loud. For the benefit of the deaf, the flash started strobing and the thing vibrated.  If I hadn't been expecting it, my first reaction might have been to throw it out the window.
