<COVID-19 vaccine update>
The eight millionth dose of the COVID-19 vaccine has now been administered in New Zealand. This includes first doses, second doses, boosters as well as third doses intended for those that are immune compromised. This significant milestone includes both the Pfizer and AstraZeneca vaccines.
MidCentral and Hutt Valley have now reached 90 percent first doses for Māori, becoming the fourth and fifth DHB areas to achieve this milestone.
<Omicron update>
Whole genome sequencing has now detected five further cases of Omicron in international arrivals, taking New Zealand’s total to 13 cases with the variant.
Four of these cases remain in managed isolation. One has now recovered and been released.
The recovered case arrived from London via Singapore on 7 December. This case tested positive to COVID-19 at day 0/1 and was accordingly closely managed in MIQ. They were never in the community while infectious.
As an added precaution, 30 other passengers on their flight are regarded as close contacts. To date, 27 of these passengers have completed day 9 tests and returned negative results – testing is underway for the remaining three.
There are no other positive border sequencing tests outstanding from prior to the introduction of new Omicron protocols on 16 December.
Health and MIQ teams have been carefully planning for Omicron cases at the border and will continue to manage all arrivals cautiously. This includes isolation and testing requirements for all new arrivals, robust infection and prevention control and PPE measures at airports and MIQ facilities, and frequent surveillance testing of staff who have any contact with recent international returnees.
New precautions set out that whole genome sequencing on all new border cases of COVID-19 is undertaken rapidly to identify any new cases of the Omicron variant.
These measures also see all passengers on flights with Omicron cases being required to complete all ten days at a managed isolation facility – rather than spending the last three days of their isolation period in self-isolation.
