We are continuing to see a steady decline in case numbers in Auckland, while cases in other parts of the country fluctuate. Case numbers generally decline over the weekend, likely linked to a lower level of testing.

There are 957 COVID-19 hospitalisations to report, which is an increase from 939 reported yesterday. 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.

Travellers from Samoa

Travellers from Samoa to New Zealand on four specific flights over coming weeks are now required to complete two Rapid Antigen Tests after they arrive, the first on Day 0/1 (within 36 hours of arriving) and the second on Day 5/6 (between 120 and 144 hours after arriving). They will be issued testing kits on arrival.

This follows the identification of COVID-19 community transmission in Samoa on Thursday. Yesterday 95 cases were reported in Samoa and the country is now in an Alert Level 3 lockdown.

Travellers from Samoa are still eligible to enter New Zealand without going into quarantine, provided those on the four flights undergo the two tests and report their results either by an automated email survey or by calling 0800 432 010. This requirement does not apply to aircrew.

The four flights are:

• 19 March flight NZ993 to Auckland (already arrived)

• 22 March flight NZ993 to Auckland

• 29 March flight NZ993 to Auckland

• 10 April flight NZ993 to Auckland


COVID-19 related deaths
Sadly, we are today reporting and additional nine people have died with COVID-19.

This takes the total number of publicly reported COVID related deaths to 175 and the 7-day rolling average of reported deaths to 9.

Of these nine people who have died, one was from Capital and Coast, four from Auckland, three from the Bay of Plenty and one from Waikato.

Two of these people were in their 50s, two in their 70s, four in their 80s and one in their 90s. Eight were male and one was female.

Our thoughts are with their family and friends at this sad time.

Out of respect, we will be making no further comment.
