We are reporting 18,514 community cases of COVID-19 today.
The daily reported cases are expected to continue to fluctuate. This means that the seven-day rolling average of cases gives a more reliable indicator of the trend in cases. The seven-day rolling average of cases is today 17,641, down slightly from 17,673 yesterday.
The number of cases and hospitalisations is a reminder that if you’re due any dose of the vaccine, including a booster, please get vaccinated as quickly as possible to ensure you are well protected against Omicron.
Being boosted greatly reduces the chances of getting severely ill and could be lifesaving. Yesterday, 5,568 booster doses were given around the country.
If you’re out and about, remember to wear a mask. Masks reduce the risk that you will both catch and spread the virus.
Yesterday there was a change in reporting that led to a drop in the number of active cases. This drop is a result of shifting the classification of active cases from 10 days after testing positive for COVID-19 to 7 days, in line with a reduction in isolation requirement for cases, announced last week.
This change in classification also occurred when we moved from a 14 to 10-day isolation requirement and is underpinned by evidence that the majority of cases are no longer infectious after 7 days.
Positive or negative, please report your RAT results
The Ministry would like to thank the many people who are getting tested and reporting results.
Whether it is positive or negative, please report your RAT result.
It only takes a couple of minutes and helps health officials assess the outbreak and better understand the spread of Omicron.
In addition to reporting the test results through ‘My Covid Record’, parents and caregivers are now able to report test results of children under 12 and other family members by calling the My Covid Record team on 0800 222 478.
COVID-19 related deaths
Sadly, 10 deaths of people with COVID-19 have been formally reported in the past 24 hours.
This takes the total number of publicly reported COVID related deaths to 166 and the 7-day rolling average of reported deaths to 8.
Delays to reporting can be associated with people dying with, rather than of COVID-19, and COVID-19 being determined after they have died. Due to these fluctuations in the daily reported figures, the Ministry regards the 7-day rolling average as a better indicator of deaths with COVID-19.
Of the 10 people who have died, one was from Northland, three were from Auckland, one from Waikato, two were from Bay of Plenty, two were from the Lakes DHB area, and one was from the Wellington.
Of these people, one was in their 40s, two in their 60s, four in their 80s, and three were in their 90s. Six were women and four were men.
Our thoughts are with their family and friends at this sad time and we will be making no further comment.

Hospitalisations*
Cases in hospital: total number 939: Northland: 29; North Shore: 169; Middlemore: 218; Auckland: 208; Waikato: 58; Bay of Plenty: 33; Lakes: 6; Tairāwhiti: 4, Hawke’s Bay: 29; Taranaki: 6; MidCentral: 19; Hutt Valley: 20; Capital and Coast: 50; Wairarapa: 5; Whanganui: 3; Nelson Marlborough: 11; Canterbury: 48; South Canterbury: 1; Southern: 22
Average age of current hospitalisations: 57
Cases in ICU or HDU: 24
Vaccination status of current hospitalisations (Northern Region only, excluding Emergency Departments): Unvaccinated or not eligible (103 cases / 17.8%); partially immunised <7 days from second dose or have only received one dose (14 cases / 2.4%); double vaccinated at least 7 days before being reported as a case (202 cases / 35%); Received booster at least 7 days before being reported as a case (221 cases / 38.2%); unknown (38 cases / 6.6%)
*The figures show that just under 3% of people aged 12 and over in the Northern Region have had no doses of the vaccine, while of those aged 12 and over in Northland and Auckland hospitals with COVID-19 for whom we have vaccination status recorded, 16.3% have had no doses of the vaccine and are five times over-represented in our hospitalisation figures.
Cases
Seven day rolling average of community cases: 17,641
Number of new community cases: 18,514
Number of new community cases (PCR): 529
Number of new community cases (RAT): 17,985
Location of new community cases (PCR & RAT): Northland (643), Auckland (4,346), Waikato (1,729), Bay of Plenty (1,221), Lakes (541), Hawke’s Bay (1,108), MidCentral (847), Whanganui (273), Taranaki (601), Tairāwhiti (365), Wairarapa (260), Capital and Coast (1,237), Hutt Valley (697), Nelson Marlborough (457), Canterbury (2,694), South Canterbury (217), Southern (1,224), West Coast (42); Unknown (12)

Confirmed cases (total): 470,097
Please note, the Ministry of Health’s daily reported cases may differ slightly from those reported at a DHB or local public health unit level. This is because of different reporting cut off times and the assignment of cases between regions, for example when a case is tested outside their usual region of residence. Total numbers will always be the formal daily case tally as reported to the WHO.
Tests
Number of PCR tests total (last 24 hours): 3,828
Number of Rapid Antigen Tests reported total (last 24 hours): 36,134
PCR tests rolling average (last 7 days): 4,044
