Today we are reporting 10,239 community cases, 848 hospitalisations and 4 deaths. It’s encouraging to see the total number of cases in hospital, while slightly higher today than yesterday, remains considerably lower that the peak of over 1000 cases in hospital from five days ago.

This reflects the decrease in hospitalisations across Auckland, Waikato and Bay of Plenty, some of the first regions to be affected by Omicron.

The Ministry of Health continues to encourage people to be up to date with their vaccinations – including being boosted as the booster restores vaccine effectiveness for Omicron to 90% after it declines after your second dose.

Our best protection both for ourselves, and for our whānau, is to be up-to-date with vaccinations – which includes a booster.

Dogs’ faces evolved to improve human connection, study shows

recently published their study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. "Dogs were shaped during the course of domestication both in their behavior and in their anatomical features," the study’s authors said. Scientists said they noticed that the muscle responsible for raising the inner eyebrow is present in dogs but not as much as in wolves, which they descended from, according to the study. RELATED: Help needed: Ukrainian zoo continues evacuations after shelling amid Russian invasionThat movement produces what many call "puppy dog eyes." Scientists said humans produce the same movement when sad, which can trigger a similar response in dogs to show empathy. As part of the study, scientists compared and contrasted the facial features of gray wolves and domestic dogs. They found a difference in the levator anguli oculi medialis muscle immediately surrounding the eye.

3 New Jersey boys honored for helping save boy who fell through ice

EDGEWATER PARK, N.J. - Three New Jersey boys were recognized Tuesday for helping rescue another boy who had fallen through an icy pond in January. Timothy Graf, 12, said he and his friend were walking on the frozen pond at Roosevelt Park when they heard the ice begin to crack beneath them. "It was a very cold day, it had been cold for a while, and we were walking on the ice, and we heard cracks," Graf told FOX 29's Shawnette Wilson. Graf said the ominous cracks finally gave way and his friend fell through the ice. When Graf tried to pull him out, he also fell into the freezing cold water.Graf managed to climb out and two teen boys who were also on the ice heard the commotion. "He was panicking, he wasn't screaming or crying, he was just panicking," Michael Marsh said. Marsh and Tristian Dehn feared that hypothermia could set in and pulled the boy out of the water after about 30 seconds. "At first you're like ‘oh I got to get these kids out,' there's no 'I'm terrified!'," Dehn said about his initial reaction to helping the boy.

New Jersey woman accused of reporting fake shooting to get out of traffic stop

CLEMENTON, N.J. - A woman is facing charges after authorities in Camden County say she made a bogus 911 call about a shooting in an effort to distract an officer who had pulled her over. On Monday afternoon, authorities say the Gloucester Township Police Communications Center received a 911 call about a shooting at the Millbridge Garden Apartment Complex in Clementon.Authorities say when officers were responding to the area, they did not observe a shooting scene, and they made several calls to the residents of the complex. Investigators traced the cell phone number back to Katelynne Hunter-Fisher, which dispatchers were able to recognize from a motor vehicle stop that was in progress at the time the 911 call was made.Responding officers verified that there was no shooting at the apartment complex, and they were able to locate the Hunter-Fisher in Lindenwold. Police determined that Hunter-Fisher called in the false shooting report in an attempt to distract the officers from completing the motor vehicle stop. Hunter-Fisher, 35, was arrested for filing a false police report and obstruction of justice. ___MORE LOCAL HEADLINES___DOWNLOAD: FOX 29 NEWS APP | FOX 29 WEATHER AUTHORITY APPSUBSCRIBE: Good Day Digest Newsletter | FOX 29 Philly on YouTubeAdvertisementFOLLOW: Facebook | Instagram | Twitter
