New Zealand reports 5 new cases of COVID-19

New Zealand reported five new cases of COVID-19 from recent returnees in managed isolation facilities, said the Ministry of Health in a statement on Sunday, with no new case recorded in the wider community.

One historical case, which was thought to have been recorded from overseas, was added to New Zealand's COVID-19 tally.

The number of active cases of COVID-19 in New Zealand was 32 and the total number of confirmed cases reached 2,530.

The seven-day rolling average of new cases detected at the New Zealand border was two, said the ministry.

More than 2.18 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine had been administered in the country up until 11:59 p.m. Saturday.

Of these, 1.37 million were first doses and more than 816,000 were second doses. (ANI/Xinhua)
