Bloomfield said he was looking for a run of days of zero community cases to inform a decision on moving alert levels.
Auckland is now in its third day of alert level 3 lockdown.
A 21-year-old (Case M) and his mother (Case N) tested positive for the virus during the weekend, prompting the snap lockdown.
Initially it was unclear how Case M caught the virus.
But on Monday Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced undisclosed contact between Case M's mother and another mum involved in Auckland's February cluster.
They had gone for a walk during the region’s level 3 lockdown earlier this month.
Bloomfield said authorities "couldn't take any chances" with alert levels given there were "quite a few exposure events" connected to Case M.
He said there had been high infection rates in the families connected to the cluster and some casual exposure.
“We want to make sure there is not more of those, and we stamp it out.”
Bloomfield said Auckland was only a few days in from when Case M was most infectious, so people would need to “wait and see” if there was any more cases linked to him.
Although he suspected Case M “was not having a good time of it” in terms of backlash over breaching the rules, he said a “punitive approach” could be “counter-productive”.
“We can’t afford to give this virus an inch.”

A new Covid-19 case in the Auckland community was announced on Saturday evening, sending the city into a seven-day alert level 3 lockdown.
Here's an important update by reporter Melanie Earley from Stuff:
The Ministry of Health has released new locations of interest the new case, known as Case M, visited while infectious.
The 21-year-old man went to their GP on Friday afternoon, where he got tested, and then to a south Auckland gym later that day.
The new case is a family member of a student from Papatoetoe High School. That student had tested negative three times and had no symptoms.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said there was a “cause for concern” as the person had been infectious for a week and had not been in isolation.
There are currently six new locations of interest visited by the new case. They are:
Hunters Plaza, Papatoetoe, February 20 between 11-2pm and February 26 between 2.55pm-5pm
Burger King, Highland Park, 25 February, 8pm-9pm
Your Health Pharmacy, Papatoetoe, 23 February, 2.45pm-3.50pm
Pak ‘N’ Save Manukau, February 21, 6pm-6.10pm
CityFitness, Papatoetoe, February 26, 3.25pm-4.30pm and February 20, 12.20pm-1.45pm
Manukau Institute of Technology (MIT), Manukau Station Rd, February 22, 24, and 25, 12pm-6.30pm
MIT Breaktime Cafe, February 22, 3.15pm-3.45pm and February 24, 3.45pm-4.15pm.
More locations of interest will be loaded on the Ministry of Health's website.
Anyone who visited these locations is to be considered a casual contact of the new case.
The only exception is CityFitness, where visitors are considered casual plus contacts.
In an email to gym members, CityFitness said it was closed after being notified by Auckland Regional Public Health that a person who tested positive for Covid 19 had visited its Papatoetoe site.

We want March to be all about celebrating the connections we have while making new ones along the way. As we all know, what makes a neighbourhood great isn’t the houses and cars, gardens and streets - it’s the people who share their presence and aroha with each other.
A wonderful way to take part is to participate in Neighbours Day Aotearoa which takes place from 20 - 30th March. This year’s theme is ‘The Great Plant Swap’ - as an easy way for our neighbourhoods to grow stronger together. If you’re hosting an event, make sure to register it on their website: neighboursday.org.nz/join-in
Show us how you’re celebrating community this month by tagging us in your social media posts or emailing us your photos, videos, or experiences to: info@neighbourhoodsupport.co.nz

It’s now more affordable to buy a house in San Francisco or London than in Auckland. A new report has ranked the Super City as the fourth least affordable housing market in the world.
The 2021 annual Demographia international housing affordability report, which is a scaled down version of previous years’ reports, looks at housing affordability in Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Ireland, New Zealand, Singapore, UK and the US.
It ranks 92 major housing markets – with populations of more than one million – in eight countries based on the median multiple, which measures median house price divided by gross median household income.
According to the report, Auckland now has a “median multiple” of 10.0. That’s up from 8.6 last year when it was the equal sixth most unaffordable market with Toronto, and from 6.4 in 2010, just a decade ago.
Regions with house prices more than three times the median regional income are considered unaffordable, so Auckland’s median multiple makes it severely unaffordable.
