The Ministry of Heath is reporting 10 news case of Covid in managed isolation today.

The new cases have been identified since the MOH's media update on Wednesday.

"There are no new cases in the community to report today," says a spokesperson for the health organisation.

"The seven-day rolling average of new cases detected at the border is four.

"Since January 1, 2021, there have been 39 historical cases, out of a total of 277 cases."

Reconciliation of active cases

The number of previously reported cases that have now recovered is 52, reports the Ministry.

"The total number of active cases in New Zealand today is 55. Our total number of confirmed cases is 2088.

"The number of active cases has dropped substantially today. This follows the discovery that the number of active Covid-19 cases in New Zealand had been over-reported due to a process issue.

"Some recovered cases had been discharged from a managed quarantine facility but their status was not updated from active to recovered in our reporting systems.

"It has been confirmed that all positive cases were managed appropriately and there has been no risk to the community.

"The Ministry, Public Health Units and ESR have worked to identify the cause and put in place mitigation steps to ensure this doesn't occur again.

"Like all our responses to Covid-19, we are constantly assessing our processes to see if any improvements or changes can be made. We know how important accurate information has been to managing New Zealand's response to Covid-19."
