Today we are reporting 14,463 community cases, 1,000 hospitalisations and 9 deaths.
Every COVID-19 hospitalisation is a reminder of the importance of getting vaccinated to prevent severe illness from Omicron. There is a much lower risk of being hospitalised if you are up to date with your vaccinations, which for Omicron includes a third or booster dose.
So, if you’re due any dose of the vaccine, including a booster, please get vaccinated as quickly as possible to ensure you are well protected against Omicron.
COVID-19 related deaths
Sadly, we are today reporting an additional nine people have died with COVID-19.
These deaths take the total number of publicly reported COVID related deaths to 184 and the 7-day rolling average of reported deaths to 10.
Of these nine people who have died, five are from Auckland region, two from Waikato, and one from Wairarapa and one from Bay of Plenty.
One of these people was in their 20s, one in their 60s, one in their 70s, two in their eighties and four in their nineties.
Five were men and four were women.
Our thoughts are with their family and friends at this sad time.
Out of respect, we will be making no further comment.
COVID-19 vaccinations
Four million Kiwis are now double dose vaccinated against COVID-19.
More than 95% of those 12 and over have now completed their primary vaccination course, which is a significant achievement for Aotearoa.
“I’d like to reiterate our thanks to everyone who has chosen to make themselves and their whānau safer by getting vaccinated,” says Director-General of Health Dr Ashley Bloomfield.
“I can’t emphasise enough that getting boosted provides the best protection against the Omicron variant.”
Across New Zealand, 3,509,497 have now had their booster, which is 73% of those that have become due. More than 950,000 people can and should get their booster as soon as they can.
