There were 151 new cases of Covid today - including a weak positive case in Canterbury and two late cases in Northland - with 83 people in hospital.
Auckland has recorded 140 cases, Waikato six, Bay of Plenty one, Lakes one and Canterbury one. A further two Northland cases have been confirmed after today's 9am cut-off.
The initial weak-positive result in Christchurch was being further investigated - including a repeat swab being taken. The case recently travelled to the North Island, and is linked to another case in the Lower North Island.
As the case numbers stay in the triple figures, the number of New Zealanders downloading the new My Vaccine pass - the passport for greater hospitality and travel freedoms this summer - has surged past one million.
And 91 per cent of New Zealanders have received their first jab of the vaccine, while 83 per cent have received their second dose.
