New Zealand has recorded its second coronavirus-related death.

Deputy Director of Public Health Dr Caroline McElnay said the woman who died yesterday in Burwood Hospital also had a number of age-related health conditions.

The deceased was one of the residents from the Rosewood rest home who had been hospitalised earlier in the week, McElnay said.

Fourteen of the new cases announced today were linked to an existing cluster, she said.

There are 12 clusters of more than 10 people.

In total, 373 people have recovered - an increase of 56 on yesterday, McElnay said.

The district health board regions with the most cases are Southern (202), Waitemata (176), Auckland (169), Waikato (166) and Canterbury (135).

Two per cent of cases were linked to community transmission; 13 per cent were still being investigated.

New Zealand's 12 clusters include 69 cases from the St Patrick's Day celebration in Matamata, Marist College in Auckland with 84 confirmed cases and another 87 linked to a Bluff wedding. The Bay of Plenty was yet to record any potential Covid-19 clusters.

So far 55,685 people have been tested for the virus and there are 51,119 corona testing stocks still available,

The rise in cases today confirmed New Zealand couldn't be "too complacent" in our response to the virus, McElnay said.
