Coronavirus: One new case of COVID-19 in New Zealand

One new case of COVID-19 has been detected in New Zealand's managed isolation and quarantine facilities, the Ministry of Health announced on Monday.

There continues to be no evidence of COVID-19 transmission in the community.

It has been 66 days since the last case was acquired locally from an unknown source.

The latest positive result brings New Zealand's active case total to 22. All active infections were detected through routine testing during the mandatory 14-day isolation period. Each case is a new arrival who has returned to the country from overseas.

New Zealand's total number of confirmed cases now stands at 1184, which is the number reported to the World Health Organization.

Monday's new case is a man in his 20s who travelled from London, via Doha and Sydney, and arrived in Auckland on July 4. He was transferred directly from Auckland Airport to a quarantine facility, as he was presenting symptoms of COVID-19 upon arrival.

The Public Health Unit will be interviewing the man to find out more details.

The last significant cluster - the outbreak associated with St Margaret's Hospital and Rest Home in Auckland - has now closed. A cluster is considered closed when there have been no new cases for two incubation periods, from the date when all cases complete isolation.

One person remains in Auckland City Hospital in a stable condition.

On Sunday, laboratories completed 1057 tests, bringing the total number of processed tests to date to 415,283.

On Saturday, laboratories completed 2294 tests. This number was not reported on Sunday due to a technical issue following an IT update.

Of the 22 active cases, six are aged 20 to 29. Eleven are aged 30 to 39, two are aged 50 to 59, one is in their 60s and two are in their 70s.
