Update from the Ministry of Health
Today we are reporting 20,087 community cases, 960 hospitalisations and 11 deaths.
Getting boosted continues to be one of the most important ways people can protect themselves from Omicron and severe illness.
Please if you are due a vaccination, whether it be a second shot or booster, make an appointment today.
There is a much lower risk of being hospitalised or of severe illness if you are up to date with your vaccinations.
COVID-19 related deaths
Today we are sadly reporting an additional 11 COVID-19 related deaths.
These deaths take the total number of publicly reported COVID-19 related deaths to 210 and the 7-day rolling average of reported deaths to 9.
Of these 11 people who have died, 2 are from Northland, 5 are from the Auckland region, 1 is from Bay of Plenty and 3 from the Wellington region.
One of these people was in their 30s, 1 in their 60s, 1 in their 70s, 4 people were in their 80s and 4 people in their 90s.
Six were men and 5 were women.
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.
