*This denominator may fluctuate due to additional contacts being identified and/or the Ministry excluding records, for instance duplicates, following further contact tracing investigations.
**A previously reported case, reported on August 18, has now been deemed as historical.
There may be some delays in providing data in some instances. On these occasions, the Ministry of Health will use data from the day before and clearly note this.
Yesterday, the Ministry of Health reported 20 new cases of Covid being in the community, all from Auckland.
These figures came hours before Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced a change in Alert Levels for New Zealand, apart from Auckland.
