For the second day in a row, there have been no new cases of COVID-19 reported.
One case that had previously been reported as probable has been reclassified as not a case, dropping New Zealand’s overall total of confirmed and probable cases decreases by one, to 1,486.

Everyone entering the country to go into a 14-day managed isolation period or quarantine if they are symptomatic.
There are currently 179 people in quarantine facilities and 2,792 people in managed isolation.
Dr Bloomfield says there is a process for requesting an exemption on compassionate grounds, and the ministry is reviewing cases in light of a High Court ruling that allowed a man to leave isolation to spend time with his dying father.
