* 32 of the 33 cases reported today are epidemiologically linked. The one case yet to be linked is a person who
presented to Middlemore Hospital on Saturday. There are seven others in their household. All seven are included in
today’s 33.
** Four previously reported historical cases now have an ‘active’ health status – they have now been removed from our
tally, which is why the number has reduced.Testing reminder
Testing nationwide remains an essential part of our response to this outbreak, in particular providing confidence for
understanding the extent of any spread of COVID-19.
We are continuing to remind people across Auckland to get tested, especially if you live in and around Massey, Favona,
Henderson, Ôtara, Papatoetoe, Mângere and Manurewa.
