*This denominator may fluctuate due to additional contacts being identified and/or the Ministry excluding records, for
instance duplicates, following further contact tracing investigations.
**A previously reported case, reported on 18 August, has now been deemed as historical.
There may be some delays in providing data in some instances. On these occasions, we will use data from the day before
and clearly note this.
