There are 202 new cases of Covid-19 in the community today and 63 at the border. 

Fourteen people are in hospital with Covid, including one in intensive care. 

The Ministry of Health announced the latest Covid figures in a statement this afternoon. 

Today's new community cases are in Northland (17), Auckland (119), Waikato (39), the Lakes DHB (4) region, Bay of Plenty (8), Taranaki (1), Hawke's Bay (8), Hutt Valley (1), Capital & Coast (4) and the Nelson Marlborough (1) region. 

Meanwhile, an East Auckland Indian restaurant and a fast-food outlet in Rotorua have today been named as high-risk locations of interest and those who dined there must isolate immediately. 

Anyone who visited Gorkha Restaurant in Eastern Beach over the Friday, Saturday and Sunday of Auckland Anniversary Weekend is considered a close contact, along with anyone who ate in at Taco Bell in Fairy Springs on Thursday, February 3, between 7pm and 7.30pm. 

Those customers need to self-isolate and get a test immediately and on day five after being at that location of interest, according to advice on the Ministry of Health website this morning. 

The growing number of locations of interest comes as modelling for the growing Omicron outbreak is due to be released today. 

Schools around the country are being impacted by Covid-19 just days into the new school year as the country is seeing a significantly smaller number of cases than predicted by experts. 

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern told RNZ that she expects the peak of Omicron will hit New Zealand in March. 

Meanwhile, as Parliament resumed today, protesters arrived in Wellington this morning to protest against the Government's ongoing Covid restrictions. 

Ardern has said she has no plans to engage with them. 

Yesterday there were 188 new cases in the community and 27 were detected at the border. 

Fourteen people were in hospital with the virus, including just one in ICU or HDU. 

In Waikato, Hamilton Boys' High School headmaster Susan Hassall confirmed to the Herald that a Year 11 student had tested positive for the virus. 

And, according to a Facebook post on Sunday, a Covid-19 case had been detected in the Melville Intermediate School community as well. 

These follow reports yesterday of positive cases detected at Te Mata Primary in Havelock North, Hamilton Christian School and Rototuna Junior and Senior High School. 

A few weeks ago, experts predicted that New Zealand would see tens of thousands of Covid cases by now. 

Pasifika health expert Dr Collin Tukuitonga told TVNZ's Breakfast this morning that the reason the country is not seeing these high case numbers was because the rate of people getting tested was low. 

Asked if complacency may play a part in people going to get tested, he said "absolutely". 

"It's been over two years and people have had enough," he said. 

On RNZ this morning Ardern said the figure on what New Zealand's peak of Omicron would look like was "widely variable". 

"It's still very difficult to predict, and the way it'll behave," said Ardern. 

"Ultimately the defining feature of where we will be will be booster uptake, the more people that take a booster the lower the likelihood of our peak."
