Northland is now 20 days without a new positive Covid-19 case.
The region's case tally has remained at 28 for almost three weeks, 24 of which had recovered. All confirmed cases of Māori ethnicity had recovered.
A total of 352 people were tested in Northland on Wednesday, taking the region's overall total number of tests to 6122 - 76 per cent of which had been done at Northland's seven community-based testing centres and mobile testing locations.

As at 8am yesterday, there were 28 patients in Northland's four DHB hospitals who were either being investigated for Covid-19, or had been tested and had a negative result.
Five of the 28 patients were considered 'under investigation', while the remaining 23 had returned negative tests.
According to the Ministry of Health, being under investigation involved someone who was eligible for testing but had not yet been tested, or someone who had been tested and did not yet have a result.
These people were not considered either a confirmed or probable case. No positive cases were in hospital.

The DHB said patients admitted to Northland DHB hospitals were routinely tested for Covid-19 if they showed any signs or symptoms of illness.
The DHB anticipated an increase in respiratory illnesses caused by other viruses including influenza and respiratory syncytial virus - which will mean an increase in Covid-19 testing.
Nationally, there was one new confirmed case of Covid-19 reported by Director-General of Health Dr Ashley Bloomfield yesterday. The case was a household contact of an existing case linked to the Matamata cluster.
The solitary addition took New Zealand's combined case total to 1489, which included 1332 cases which had recovered. Two people were in hospital but neither were in intensive care.
There were no further deaths to report and no additional clusters. A record 7323 tests were conducted nationally on Wednesday, taking the overall total to 168,023.
