Today we are reporting 9091 community cases, 411 hospitalisations and 5 deaths.

Yesterday, there were 9570 community cases, 425 hospitalisations and 32 deaths.

The seven-day rolling average of community case numbers is 7981 – last Thursday it was 7533.

Covid-19 deaths

Today we are sadly reporting the deaths of 5 people with Covid-19, all of whom have died in the past two days.

These deaths take the total number of publicly reported deaths with Covid-19 to 1022 and the 7-day rolling average of reported deaths is 16.

Of the people whose deaths we are reporting today; one was from the Wellington region; one from Bay of Plenty, and three from Southern.

One person was in their seventies, and four people were in their 80s.

Of these people, four were women and one was a man.

This is a very sad time for whānau and friends and our thoughts and condolences are with them at this time.

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