Te Punaha Matatini data modeller Shaun Hendy said case numbers were expected to get as high as 300 a day before tapering off in the current most likely scenario. "That's still a lot, but it's better than some of the worse case scenarios where things don't peak until December or January and then we see much worse case numbers," he said. But Hendy said vaccinations were going well in Auckland, and it was hoped the high rates might start to have an impact on daily cases numbers by the end of the month.
