The Ministry of Health is announcing 135 new Covid community cases around New Zealand today.
Of those, 125 are in Auckland, eight are in the Waikato and two are in Canterbury.
There are no new cases in either the Bay of Plenty District or Lakes health board regions.
To date, there have been 72 Covid cases in the BOP, three of whom have recovered.
There have been 30 cases in the Lakes DHB District, 20 of whom have recovered.
The Ministry is reporting 76 people are in hospital with the virus, seven of which are in ICU.
"Two are in Auckland Hospital, three are in Middlemore, one is in North Shore Hospital and one is in Waikato Hospital."
Today's cases
"Today, we are reporting new community cases in Auckland, Waikato, and Canterbury," says an MOH spokesperson.
"The Canterbury cases were first announced yesterday but are being officially reported in today's figures.
"
In addition, we are announcing four new cases in Nelson-Marlborough, which will be officially reported in tomorrow's figures."
One previously reported community case was reclassified as a border case. Therefore, the total number of cases associated with the outbreak has increased by 134, not 135."
Regional updates
The Ministry of Health is continuing to ask anyone in New Zealand with symptoms – no matter how mild – to get tested, even if you're vaccinated.
Please remain isolated until you return a negative test result, says an MOH spokesperson.
"If you are not vaccinated, now is the time, as vaccination is the number one defence against Covid-19. Your DHB or local health provider will have plenty of opportunities to make this happen."
Testing and vaccination centre locations nationwide can be found on the Healthpoint website.
Auckland Update
Today, there are 125 new cases being reported in Auckland.
Health staff are now supporting 3123 people to isolate at home, including 847 cases.
The number and location of testing sites are regularly assessed by health staff to ensure there is good testing and vaccination centre coverage.
Waikato update
There are eight new cases being reported today in Waikato, with five in Te Kūiti and one each in Huntly, Ōtorohanga and Ngāruawāhia.
All eight new cases have been linked to previous cases.
Nine pop-up and dedicated testing sites are operating across Waikato today in Piopio, Hamilton, Te Kūiti, Taumarunui, Huntly, Ngāruawāhia and Ōtorohanga.
Meanwhile, across the region, public health staff are now supporting 108 cases to isolate at home.
Two cases are receiving care at Waikato Hospital, including one in ICU.
Nelson-Tasman
"Today we are announcing four new cases in Nelson-Tasman, all of which were reported after the official cut off period so will be added officially to tomorrow's numbers," says the MOH.
"
"Public health officials continue to manage several hundred contacts associated with exposures at two schools in Nelson. No further cases have been identified from these school exposures to date."
Locations of interest are regularly added and can be viewed here.
