- Whanganui: The new cases is being investigated, but the Ministry of Health say it appears they recently travelled out of the city and have links to existing cases outside the region.
- Canterbury: One case in Canterbury was reported yesterday, and has formally been added to the case tally today. There are also two close contacts of this case that have also tested positive in Canterbury, but they were reported after the Ministry of Health's 9am cutoff so will be added to tomorrow's case number tally.
