The rest of New Zealand will remain at Alert level 1.
The announcement comes after a person who travelled from Sydney to Wellington tested positive for the virus upon their return.
The person was in Wellington from 19 June until 21 June.
In today's 1pm press conference, Covid-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins says that includes the Wairarapa and the Kāpiti Coast.
"We just held a special meeting and out of an abundance of caution the Wellington region will move to alert level 2 from 6pm tonight and that will run through at this point until 11.59pm on Sunday," Hipkins says.
Auckland is moving to Alert Level 1 at 12.00pm, 12 March.
