There are no new community cases of Covid-19 to report today and just one in managed isolation.

The case in managed isolation was under investigation yesterday and has now been classified as a confirmed case - but they have already recovered.

Three other cases have also recovered, meaning the number of active cases in New Zealand is 70.

The Ministry of Health says all day six testing of the international fishing crew at a border hotel in Christchurch has also concluded and there are no new cases to report.

Yesterday the ministry continued to stress the importance of isolating and getting a test if you feel unwell.

There are seven community testing centres open over the long weekend at:

• Northcote Community Testing Centre,
• Northcare Accident and Medical, Whānau House in Henderson,
• Western Springs Community Testing Centre,
• the Whânau Ora Community Clinic in Wiri,
• the Otara Community Testing Centre,
• the North Harbour stadium carpark in Albany

Testing is also available across metro Auckland at a number of urgent care clinics and general practices over the long weekend - all tests are free of charge.

As well, the Ministry of Health continued its campaign to get Kiwis using the Covid Tracer app to record their movements for contact tracing purposed.

"The more we scan, the safer we'll be. The faster we respond, the faster we stop it.

"If you can't or don't want to use the app, we encourage you to use the written sign-in that businesses should have available, and for your own records use another method that works for you, like the NZ Covid Tracer booklet."
