There are 79 new community cases of Covid-19 in the community today.
In a statement released by the Ministry of Health it is reported that 75 of these cases are in Auckland and four are in the Waikato region. There is one new case identified at the border.
As at 10am, 46 of these cases are linked – including 24 household contacts – and 33 remain unlinked, with investigations continuing to help determine their connection to the outbreak.
There are 37 people in total in hospital, up from 35 yesterday and four cases in ICU or HDU.
The number of community cases in the current community outbreak is now at 2,759.
A Ministry of Health spokesperson says there has been a decrease in hospitalisation from Covid-19 following a number of discharges over the weekend.
'This reflects some instances where individuals were identified as having Covid-19 when presenting for other issues and were admitted for a short period while their other issues were managed.
'The average age of hospitalisations in the current outbreak is 45 years, however over the past fortnight the average age of hospitalisations is 38.
'This reflects a trend of younger hospitalisations overall, with only six per cent of the 372 hospital admissions in this outbreak being amongst the 65 and over age group,” they say.
