Today we are reporting 9,906 community cases, 626 hospitalisations and 10 deaths. Case numbers are continuing to decline, along with the seven-day rolling average.
Today's seven-day average is 11,281, while last Friday it was 14,171. Vaccination remains our best defence against COVID-19 and getting boosted is an important way people can protect themselves, their whanau and their friends from the virus.
Despite the decline in case numbers, please continue to follow public health advice to stay at home; away from school or work if you’re feeling unwell.
Another way to protect you and your whanau is to get vaccinated if you haven’t already done so. Please if you are due for a vaccination, whether it be a second dose or booster, make an appointment today.
