There is one new case of COVID-19 to report in managed isolation in New Zealand today. It has been 88 days since the last case of COVID-19 was acquired locally from an unknown source.

Today’s case is a woman in her 20s who arrived in New Zealand on July 14 from Afghanistan via Dubai. The woman has been staying at the Distinction Hotel in Hamilton and tested negative around day 3 of her stay.

She returned a weak positive around day 12 of her stay and has since been transferred to the Auckland quarantine facility. This case again reinforces why we test people twice during their time in managed isolation.

Claims that living at high altitudes protects against COVID-19 ‘speculative’

recent analysis found that, compared with lowland areas, there is a lower incidence of severe COVID-19 in Tibet and parts of Bolivia and Ecuador that are more than 2,500 meters above sea level.Lead study author Christian Arias-Reyes — from the Faculty of Medicine at Laval University in Quebec, Canada — and colleagues argued that physiological acclimatization or particular environmental characteristics associated with high altitude may protect people from SARS-CoV-2. This is the virus that causes COVID-19.The international group of scientists proposed several mechanisms to explain this possible resistance to infection. These included having fewer of the cell receptors that the virus uses to invade cells and having a higher tolerance of low
