There are 36 new cases of COVID-19 in New Zealand as at 8 am this morning. This brings the total number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in New Zealand to 102.
More details of the new cases will be provided via our website shortly and updated as new details emerge. Of the cases today over half are directly related to overseas travel, most of the remainder are close contacts of a previously confirmed case or associated with an event where there were confirmed cases such as the Queenstown World Hereford Cattle conference.
None of the cases announced today appear to relate to community transmission. Across all cases we have two that we cannot be certain where the infection came from and are therefore treating them as community transmission.
