Today we are reporting 15,540 new community cases, 952 people in hospital with the virus, and two COVID-19 related deaths.
We know the Omicron variant can cause serious illness and death either directly or by its impact on other health conditions, particularly for our older and more vulnerable New Zealanders. The importance of getting boosted cannot be under-estimated.
Getting vaccinated and boosted will help reduce your risk of severe COVID-19 illness and could save your life. Getting boosted will not only reduce your risk of severe illness, but it will also help to protect our most vulnerable communities.
COVID-19 related deaths
The Ministry of Health is today reporting the deaths of two people with COVID-19. Of these deaths, one occurred in Waikato, and one in Canterbury. Both people were women aged over 70 years.
The total number of publicly reported COVID-19 related deaths to date is now 115.
Our thoughts and sympathies are with the whānau and friends of all those who have died.
Out of respect for affected families, we will be making no further comment.
Testing
Please continue to get tested if you have symptoms. Even if you think you might have COVID-19, it’s better to test and know for sure.
If you have symptoms, but you’re unsure whether or not to get a test, please contact your health professional or Health on 0800 358 5453 and follow advice. Getting tested remains one of the best ways to find any undetected community transmission.
Please continue with all the usual precautions of staying home when sick; wearing masks as directed; washing hands and scanning as you go.
Registering your result
If you test positive with a rapid antigen test, it’s essential you register your positive result How to report your RAT results | Unite against COVID-19 (covid19.govt.nz)
As we’re seeing the vast majority of positive results coming from rapid antigen tests, it’s essential people continue to register their result, whether it is positive or negative.
We want to know if you test positive. It’s the best way to give public health officials an overview of case numbers in particular areas of New Zealand, to help determine the best spread of public health resources. It’s also important if your condition worsens and you require additional healthcare.
The Ministry would like to thank the many people who are reporting their Rapid Antigen Test (RAT) results – both positive and negative.
