There were 28 new community cases yesterday — 27 in Auckland and one in Wellington — taking the total number of cases in this outbreak to 764. Unlinked cases have dropped from 65 to 31.

There are 43 Covid-19 patients in hospital, with nine in ICU. A total of 31,668 - or 84 per cent of contacts - have been followed up by contact tracers, while 89,073 doses of the Covid-19 vaccine were delivered throughout New Zealand yesterday.

Cabinet will on Monday review alert level 3 for Northland and the lockdown in Auckland.

Government has approved $454 million for business support due to the lockdown and reduced the six-month eligibility test.
