Today we have no new cases of COVID-19 in New Zealand. However, our total number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 today increases by four.
These cases are people who returned to New Zealand from the Greg Mortimer cruise ship in April and who had all tested positive for COVID-19 in Uruguay.
They were classified as being under investigation while we were awaiting information from Uruguay to avoid them being double counted by the World Health Organisation.
We have now confirmed these cases were not reported by Uruguay. All four have recovered. We have previously reported reclassifying three cases.
