The Ministry of Health has today reported one person has died with Covid-19 in the Bay of Plenty District Health Board region.

Nationally, the ministry reported 34 Covid-related deaths.

The deaths reported today included people who had died over the past 10 days but were only recently notified to the Ministry. Delays to reporting can be associated with people dying with, rather than of Covid-19, and Covid being discovered after they have died.

Of the people whose deaths reported today, two were from Northland, 17 from the Auckland region, two from Waikato, one from the Bay of Plenty, one from the Lakes District Health Board, two from Hawke's Bay, five from the Wellington region, three from Canterbury, and one from Southern.

One person was in their 30s, one person was in their 50s, five were in their 60s, nine were in their 70s, seven in their 80s and 11 were in their 90s.
