All six cases in the Lakes DHB area were in the Taupō district, he said.
The Ministry of Health said today, as case numbers increased, it was changing the way case numbers and other details were reported in their daily updates.
"We are reflecting these changes in the update today, however it's important to reinforce that we still have the key figures included here, and available online, including New Zealand's case numbers – by total, at the border, in the community and by DHB region.
"For the public, as cases of Omicron continue to be identified around the country, it's important New Zealanders are as ready as they can be if they contract the virus or come into contact with someone else who has the virus," the ministry said.
"Make sure you have your personal plans ready, and follow the key public health advice of getting vaccinated, boosted, tested, if you're symptomatic, and masking up."
There are several new locations of interest for the region.
Police move in on Parliament protesters in Wellington, more arrests
More than 50 protesters have been arrested for refusing to leave the grounds of Parliament after being trespassed today.
Police say it is "disappointing" that a number of people continue to refuse to leave, and officers will continue to use their power "fairly and proportionately" in order to remove them.
Defiant protesters are being arrested in a series of scuffles as police move into the crowd on the front lawn. At least one tent has been dragged down by police and several protesters have been led away in handcuffs.
Those arrested will face charges of trespass and obstruction, and will be bailed to appear in court.
