Update from the Ministry of Health
Today we are reporting 9,390 community cases, 522 hospitalisations and 13 deaths.
Today’s seven-day rolling average is 8,166, while the seven-day rolling average of cases as at last Friday was 8,683.
COVID-19 deaths
Today we are sadly reporting the deaths of 13 people with COVID-19. The deaths being reported today include people who have died over the past seven days. Delays to reporting can be associated with people dying with COVID-19, rather than from COVID-19, and COVID-19 being discovered only after they have died.
These deaths take the total number of publicly reported deaths with COVID-19 to 646 and the 7-day rolling average of reported deaths to 11.
Of the people whose deaths we are reporting today, one person was from Northland, six from the Auckland region, one from Waikato, one from Lakes, one from Whanganui, one from the Wellington region and two from the Canterbury region.
One person was aged between 10 and 19, five in their 70s, six in their 80s, and one person was over 90.
Four were male and nine were female.
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.
