There are no new cases in the community to report today, reports the Ministry of Health.

"There is one new positive case of Covid-19 to report in managed isolation since our last media statement yesterday," says a spokesperson for the health organistation.

"The new case is a contact of a previously reported case who is in quarantine. The seven-day rolling average of new cases detected at the border is four."

The total number of active cases in New Zealand today is 100.

The total number of confirmed cases is 2234.

Two previously reported cases have now been reclassified, reports the MOH.

"Both are now deemed historical and were reported in their respective countries of origin, so are not included in New Zealand's figures.

"This has created a net change in our total confirmed cases of -1 since our statement yesterday."

Since 1 January 2021, there have been 46 historical cases, out of a total of 418 cases.
