In the coronavirus update today, director-general of health Ashley Bloomfield said there was a total of nine new cases nationwide and one further death.
There were four new confirmed cases and five new probable cases around the country. A total of 18 people were in hospital, including three in ICU and two in critical condition.
There were 4146 tests processed on Saturday, bringing the total of tests conducted to 83,224.
While Hawke's Bay marked another day of no new cases, health experts warned community safety remained paramount.
Medical officer of health Nick Jones said community protection was vital and testing of anyone showing symptoms was required.
"Essential workers should also be reassured they are eligible for essential worker leave support through Work and Income New Zealand if needing to stay home because of Covid-19," he said.
Jones also said it was important to remind parents of children, particularly those under the age of 2, to make sure they received their immunisations on time.
"If you have a child who is due an immunisation, please do not delay this and contact your GP to discuss your child being immunised," he said.
"Immunisations given on time provide the best protection against serious disease, like measles and whooping cough."
