Two DHBs are less than 1000 doses away from reaching their 90% fully vaccinated milestone. As of this morning, Taranaki DHB was 658 doses away from 90% of its eligible population being fully vaccinated, and the West Coast DHB was 655 doses away. Thirteen out of 20 DHBs have reached the 90% milestone.

There were 33 cases identified at the border over the past two days. This number is a reflection on the increase in cases globally and the continued impact of COVID-19 in many parts of the world.

It’s important to note our border measures and managed isolation and quarantine process have adapted over the past two years to minimise the risk of COVID-19 border cases leading to community transmission. These also offer strong protection against the Omicron variant.

In addition, further measures have been introduced recently in response to Omicron cases at the border, including lengthening the period of time overseas arrivals must spend in MIQ from 7 to 10 days, tighter requirements for pre-departure test, and escalating the roll-out of booster doses, especially for those working at our borders. We have strengthened and continue to review infection prevention control measures at the border to minimise the risk of transmission. We have also shifted priorities for whole genome sequencing to focus on areas of greatest risk for Omicron transmission

Omicron update

There are two new Omicron cases at the border to report among recent arrivals at the border, taking the total Omicron cases at the border to date to 90.  

There are no community Omicron cases to report. 

Testing continues for the contacts of the border-related Omicron case with community exposures, first announced on Wednesday. To date, all test results received from these contacts have been negative.
