There are two cases considered to have recovered from COVID-19, which brings the total number of active cases to 24.
There is no one in New Zealand receiving hospital-level care for COVID-19.

The number of posters that have been created is 77,355 and the number of poster scans to date is 1,377,123.
We need every New Zealander to remain vigilant to the threat that COVID-19 poses to our country.
Having no cases in the community does not mean we can afford to be complacent.
We need everyone to be keeping a record of their movements and the app is an easy way to do that.
