There are no new Covid-19 cases in the community today - but 17 cases have been detected in MIQ during the past two days. The Ministry of Health says today's managed isolation case numbers underscore the value of having in place the day 0/1 testing, with 13 out of the 17 cases identified in this way. The ministry said it was common to see some of the day 0/1 cases reclassified as historical cases, which are not infectious. An additional four people have now recovered, and the total number of active cases in New Zealand today is 74. It will mean anyone travelling from Australia will not have to carry out the 14-day managed isolation period on arrival.
