Today’s reported deaths take the total number of publicly reported deaths with COVID-19 to 1,325 and the 7-day rolling average of reported deaths is 13.
Of the people whose deaths we are reporting today, 2 were from the Auckland region, 1 from Waikato, 1 from Bay of Plenty, and 1 from Canterbury.
One person was in their 60s, 2 were in their 70s, 1 was in their 80s, and 1 was aged over 90. Of these people, 2 were women and 3 were men.
