There are 21 new cases of COVID-19 in the New Zealand community to confirm
today. This brings the total number of cases in the community outbreak to 51.
All cases have or are being transferred safely to a managed isolation
facility, under strict infection prevention and control procedures, including
the use of full PPE.
Of the 21 new cases, 18 are in Auckland and three are in Wellington — one of
which we reported yesterday and has been included in the numbers reported
today.
This brings Wellington’s number of community cases to 6.
Of the 51 cases, 32 are linked to other community cases identified in the
outbreak. Investigations are continuing to determine whether and how the
remaining 19 cases are linked to the outbreak. We will continue to release
this information and new locations of interest as it becomes available.
Public health interviews with the cases are continuing. One of the new
Wellington cases is a household contact of the previously reported case based
in Johnsonville. At this stage, interviews have determined this person’s
locations of interest are the same as those for the case we reported
yesterday.
Another of the cases flew from Auckland to Wellington on Thursday and has
reported no locations of interest in Wellington. The flight is a location of
interest and details are on the Ministry of Health website.
ESR continues to run whole genome sequencing on samples taken from all new
cases to support ongoing investigations into the outbreak. ESR has completed
sequencing for 29 of these cases, including the three Wellington cases
reported yesterday, and found all have genome links to the Auckland cluster.
In addition, there are 3 new cases in recent returnees in a managed isolation
facility.
