Death of a patient at North Shore Hospital

Sadly, we are reporting the death last night of a woman in her 90s in North Shore Hospital. The woman had a number of underlying health conditions and had COVID-19.

Our thoughts are with her whānau at this deeply sad time.

Her underlying health conditions and the state of her health meant it was not clinically appropriate for her to receive ventilator or ICU care.

Her family was regularly updated and had the opportunity to speak with her regularly by phone. The family has been offered cultural support by the DHB.

The woman was admitted on 6 November from Edmonton Meadows Care Home where there has been an outbreak with 25 cases of COVID-19 in staff and residents. She was a confirmed case before admission to hospital.

Auckland update

192 of today’s cases are reported in Auckland and interviews are continuing today to establish links.

We are continuing to urge anyone with symptoms, no matter how mild, to get a test. There are 15 community testing centres available for testing across Auckland today. The testing centres at Northcote, Balmoral, and Wiri are continuing to operate extended hours to increase access to testing in those areas.

Public health staff are supporting 3,972 people to isolate at home – this includes 1,773 cases.

Lakes

As reported earlier today, there are two cases confirmed in Rotorua after a person sought care at Rotorua Hospital for a non-COVID-19 health matter and subsequently returned a positive test result.

The person was not in contact with any other patients as they were placed in a room set aside for possible COVID-19 cases. The person was managed with appropriate infection prevention protocols. Two healthcare workers involved have been tested and are now isolating.

The second case is a household contact of the first. Based on current information there is a link to cases in Auckland.

This brings the total number of cases in the region to six. This latest result was received after our reporting cut-off time and will be reflected in tomorrow’s overall case numbers.

We are encouraging anyone with COVID-19 related symptoms in the region to get tested. Testing is available today at the following locations:

Rotorua COVID-19 Community Testing Centre, Kahukura Clubrooms, 1475 Pukatua St, 9am to 3pm
