Update from the Ministry of Health
Today we are reporting 8,270 community cases and 5 deaths. There are 305 people in hospital and 7 people in ICU in Northern Region hospitals.
Hospitalisation data for hospitals outside of the Northern Region is unavailable at this stage today and will be updated as soon as possible.
The 7-day rolling average of case numbers continues to decline, with today’s 7-day rolling average at 7,585 – last Tuesday it was 9,731.
The number of reported community cases is expected to continue to fluctuate day to day, but the overall trend remains an overall reduction in reported cases.
COVID-19 deaths
Today we are sadly reporting the deaths of 5 people with COVID-19. These deaths take the total number of publicly reported deaths with COVID-19 to 602 and the 7-day rolling average of reported deaths is 12.
Of the people whose deaths we are reporting today, 1 was from the Auckland region, 1 was from Waikato, 2 were from MidCentral and 1 was from Tairāwhiti.
One was in their 70s, 3 were in their 80s, and 1 was over 90.
One was female and 4 were male.
This is a very sad time for whānau and friends and our thoughts are with them.
