Covid-19: NZ experiencing highest peak in 18 months - epidemiologist
www.rnz.co.nzNew Zealand is experiencing its highest peak in Covid-19 cases since December 2022, professor Michael Baker says.
Last week, the ministry reported 6146 new cases of the virus and 19 further deaths.
That was a substantial increase on the number of cases reported the previous week - which stood at 3922.
The data came from wastewater testing, Baker said, but hospitalisations were also up.
"We're up to about 35 people a day going to hospital with this infection," he said.
