Director-General of Health Ashley Bloomfield today announced 48 new confirmed cases and 10 more probable cases of Covid-19 in New Zealand.
The total number of cases currently sits at 647.
While the number of confirmed cases within 24 hours has dropped, down from 85 and 83 a couple of days previously, Bloomfield was quick to explain that this does not mean New Zealand should expect to see case numbers going down from now on.
