Covid-19: No community cases; four cases in managed isolation
There are four Covid-19 cases related to recent returnees in managed isolation facilities since the Ministry’s update yesterday.
Of the new cases, two arrived from Kuwait on June 21 and tested positive on Day 6. Both were a contact of a case. The other two new cases were in a travel bubble together and arrived from the Netherlands via the United Arab Emirates on June 24.
One previously reported case has now recovered. One of yesterday’s cases has now been reclassified as under investigation – this has been removed from the Ministry's daily tally.
The total number of confirmed cases is 2,385 and the number of active cases in New Zealand is 30.
The seven-day rolling average of new cases detected at the border is 3. Since January 1 2021, there have been 76 historical cases, out of a total of 569 cases.
Australian traveller who visited Wellington
So far, 2,608 people have been identified as contacts of the Australian person who visited Wellington between 19 and 21 June.
Of those 2,609 total contacts, 2,416 or 93% of people have returned a negative result, 9 additional people have had a swab and are awaiting a result; 11 people have been granted a clinical exemption and 8 have returned overseas, which means their home jurisdiction will be following up with them.
The remaining contacts are being followed up by contact tracing teams.
