There are no new Covid-19 cases today, the Ministry of Health revealed.
There are 23 active cases. New Zealand has gone 98 days without community transmission.
None of those people are receiving hospital-level care, the ministry said.

Yesterday, there were 4014 tests - bringing the total number of test completed in New Zealand to 486,943.
"There were 282 swabs taken in managed isolation and quarantine facilities yesterday," the ministry said.
The Ministry said these testing numbers were strong - "Please continue to seek advice on getting a test if you have cold or flu-like symptoms."
The statement reiterated that it isn't necessary for the public to wear masks at Alert Level 1, because there's no evidence of community transmission in New Zealand.
"Masks will be most useful when Covid-19 is present in our community and people are in situations where they are in close proximity to each other."
