There is a slight increase in today’s numbers. As we have said previously, some volatility is likely at this stage as we
expect some changes in the numbers as day 5 and day 12 tests for contacts of cases are due, and we do further
investigations of any new unlinked cases.
This does serve as a strong reminder of the importance of following the COVID-19 Alert Level rules wherever you are, and
to get tested if you have any symptoms or have been at a location of interest at the specified times.CasesNumber of new community cases23Number of new cases identified at the borderOneLocation of new casesAucklandLocation of community cases (total)Auckland 885 (279 of whom have recovered); Wellington 17 (10 of whom have recovered)Number of community cases (total)902 (in current community outbreak)Cases infectious in the communityEight (72.7%) of yesterday’s 11 cases have exposure eventsCases in isolation throughout the period they were infectedThree (27.3%) of yesterday’s 11 casesCases epidemiologically linked14 of today’s casesCases to be epidemiologically linkedNine of today’s casesCases epidemiologically linked (total)866 (in current cluster) (36 unlinked)Number of sub-clustersEight epidemiologically linked subclusters.
