Media release


04 April 2020

Today there are 52 new confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 30 new probable cases. There are no additional deaths to report.

There are now 127 reported cases which we can confirm have recovered.

The combined total of confirmed and probable cases in New Zealand is 950, 82 more than yesterday.

We now have three fewer people in hospital with COVID-19. Today there are ten in hospital, including one person in Wellington in ICU. All inpatients are in a stable condition.

From our lab numbers, we can report a 7 day rolling average of tests at 2264 per day. Yesterday we did the highest number of tests we have completed in a single day - 3631. The total of lab tests to date is 33,116. We now have capacity for 6271 tests a day.

We are continuing to grow the supply of both swabs and the components used by labs to process tests.

Altogether, we have more than 100,000 nasal and throat swabs in stock, and around 37,000 lab test kit componentry.

There is high demand for nasal swabs and our local manufacturer is ramping up production, with 300,000 swabs due in the next 3 to 4 weeks.

For those cases we have information on, we are still seeing a strong link to overseas travel (47%), as well as links to confirmed cases within New Zealand (34%) and community transmission (1%).

Another 17% of cases continue to be investigated. We fully expect that some of those will transpire to be community transmission, once other alternatives such as overseas travel or link with a confirmed or probable case have been excluded.

We have 10 significant clusters - that is, more than 10 people infected from a single source.

More details are available on current cases.
