Today, there are 48 new confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 10 new probable cases. There are no additional deaths to report. There are now 74 reported cases which we can confirm have recovered.
The combined total of confirmed and probable cases in New Zealand is 647, 58 more than yesterday. These numbers are encouraging but they are far from a cause for early celebration.
New Zealand needs to continue its vigilance. The numbers today show it’s more important than ever to continue to abide by the Level 4 conditions and observe the lockdown.
That’s the best way we will continue to make progress in the fight against COVID-19. Today we can report 14 people in hospital with COVID-19.
