The first case is a man in his 30s, who arrived in New Zealand on July 14 from Afghanistan flying via Doha.
The second is also a man in his 30s, who arrived in New Zealand on 14 July from Pakistan flying via Dubai.
"Both positive results were from day 3 tests," the Ministry of Health said today.
"Both returnees, and the family of the second case, were transferred last night from Waikato to the Auckland quarantine facility."

She was already in quarantine in the Chateau on the Park in Christchurch after a family member tested positive from a day 3 test. The woman remains in quarantine.
Today's three new cases takes New Zealand's total to 1203.
None of the current patients require hospital-level care.
