Today we are reporting 7,043 community cases, 468 hospitalisations and seven deaths.
The seven-day rolling average of case numbers today is 7,415 – a reduction from last Saturday, when it was 8,475.
With ongoing community transmission across the motu, it is important we remain vigilant. That means continuing to follow public health advice to stay at home, away from school or work if you’re feeling unwell.
Another way to protect you, your whānau and friends is to get vaccinated, if you aren’t already. It’s free and available for everyone aged five and over.
Vaccination remains our best defence against COVID-19 and a booster – in addition to first and second doses – gives you greater immunity against Omicron and severe illness. There’s a much lower risk of being hospitalised if you’re up to date with your COVID-19 vaccinations.
So, if you or your whānau are due for a COVID-19 vaccination – whether it be a first or second dose or a booster – please, make an appointment today.
COVID-19 deaths
Today we are sadly reporting the deaths of seven people with COVID-19. The deaths being reported today are for people who have died over the previous three days.
Delays to reporting can be associated with people dying with COVID-19, rather than from COVID-19, and COVID being discovered only after they have died.
These deaths take the total number of publicly reported deaths with COVID-19 to 744 and the seven-day rolling average of reported deaths is 11.
Of the people whose deaths we are reporting today, one person was from Northland, one from the Auckland region, one from Waikato, one from MidCentral, two from Canterbury, and one from Southern.
One was in their 60s, three in their 70s, two in their 80s, and one was over 90.
Three were women and four were men.
Out of respect, we will be making no further comment.
