WELLINGTON: New Zealand reported 33,193 new community cases of Covid-19 and 15 deaths during the weekend, said the Ministry of Health in a statement.

This included 18,699 cases on Saturday and 14,494 cases on Sunday. There continues to be a drop in overall case numbers, with the trend most pronounced in the biggest city, Auckland, where reported case numbers have fallen steadily this week from just under 10,000 cases on Tuesday to just over 4,500 on Sunday, said the ministry.
