Today we are reporting 8,609 community cases, 386 hospitalisations and 20 deaths.
Today’s seven-day rolling average of community case numbers is 7,684 – last Thursday it was 7,705 .
The number of community cases today is an important reminder that we all continue to have a part to play in minimising the spread of COVID-19 in our communities. 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, your whānau and friends is to get vaccinated, if you aren’t already. It’s free and available for everyone aged five and over.
Vaccination remains our best defence against COVID-19 and a booster – in addition to first and second doses – gives you greater immunity against Omicron and severe illness. There’s a much lower risk of being hospitalised if you’re up to date with your COVID-19 vaccinations.
So, if you or your whānau are due for a COVID-19 vaccination – whether it be a first or second dose or a booster – please, make an appointment today.
COVID-19 deaths
Today we are sadly reporting the deaths of 20 people with COVID-19. The deaths being reported today include 18 people who have died over the past five days and an additional two people who have died since 24 April.
Delays to reporting can be associated with people dying with COVID-19, rather than from COVID-19, and COVID being discovered only after they have died.
These deaths take the total number of publicly reported deaths with COVID-19 to 821 and the 7-day rolling average of reported deaths is 14.
Of the people whose deaths we are reporting today; three people were from Auckland; one from Waikato; five from Bay of Plenty; two from Hawke’s Bay; one from the Greater Wellington region; one from Nelson-Malborough, five from Canterbury and two from Southern.
One person was under-10; one in their 50s, five in their 60s; two in their 70s; seven in their 80s and four were aged over 90.
Of these people, 12 were female and eight were male.
This is a very sad time for whānau and friends and our thoughts and condolences are with them at this time.
Out of respect, we will be making no further comment.
Northern region hospitalisation data
As indicated yesterday, from today reporting of hospitalisation numbers in Northern region hospitals will include only active COVID-19 cases. To date, reported case numbers in the Northern region have included people who have recovered from COVID-19 but remain in hospital.
The reporting of hospitalisations in other DHBs is unchanged as these already only include active cases.
This change sees the number of daily hospitalisations in the Northern region reduce. This change is part of ensuring nationally consistent reporting of this data.
