Registering your RAT result The Ministry would like to thank the many people who are getting tested and reporting results As we are seeing the vast majority of positive results coming from Rapid Antigen Tests (RAT), it’s essential people continue to report their result – whether it is positive or negative.
It is the best way to give public health officials an overview of case numbers in particular areas of New Zealand, to help determine the best spread of public health resources.
It is also important if your condition worsens, and you require additional healthcare. From last Friday (11 March), in addition to reporting the test results through ‘My Covid Record’, parents and caregivers are now able to report test results of children under 12 and other family members by calling the My Covid Record team on 0800 222 478.
To date, more than 13,000 people have recorded RAT results in ‘My Covid Record’ on behalf of family members. COVID-19 related deaths Sadly, we are today reporting 10 people who have died with COVID-19.
