There are 125 new community cases of Covid-19 today, the Ministry of Health has reported.
Of these, 117 are in Auckland, two in the Waikato and six cases are in Northland.
There were 21,192 first and second Covid-19 vaccine doses administered yesterday, made up of 5,103 first doses and 16,089 second doses.
To date, 89 per cent of New Zealanders have had their first dose and 79 per cent are fully vaccinated, says a Ministry of Health spokesperson.
'Two previously reported community cases in Auckland have been re-allocated to Northland DHB. Two of yesterday's border-related cases on board a vessel which recently arrived in Bluff have been classified as historical.
'There is therefore no risk to other crew or port workers,” says the spokesperson
Northland update
'There are six new cases to report in Northland today.
'Of these, five were announced yesterday afternoon and have now officially been added to the tally. The additional case is a contact of a previous case. All cases are isolating at home.
'The 6-week-old baby reported yesterday as being hospitalised has now been discharged.
'A person with Covid-19 was hospitalised at Whangârei Hospital for observation overnight.
This is a previously reported Covid-19 case that has been isolating at home. They have since been discharged home and will continue to self-isolate.
'We are continuing to encourage those who live in or around Taipa, Kaingaroa, Awanui, Kaitaia and Kaikohe and have had any symptoms of Covid-19 in the last two weeks, to get tested as soon as possible. Testing centre locations can be found on the Northland DHB website.
