      End of the daily Covid-19 update

      "At this stage of New Zealand's response to Covid-19 we are seeing cases routinely appear at the border in recent returnees in managed isolation facilities," a spokesperson said today.

      "We expect this to continue to be the case while we remain in Alert Level 1 with managed isolation requirements in place."

      To reflect this, the Ministry is reducing the frequency of media updates to four times a week – currently scheduled to be on a Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.

      "The Ministry's website will be updated with case numbers in line with these media updates."

      On those days, the Ministry will report cases that have tested positive in managed isolation in the preceding days since the last update.

      "The public can be assured that the Ministry will report any significant development, including any case emerging in the community, sooner if required."

      The new arrangement will begin as of Wednesday, today's statement said.
