There are no new cases of Covid-19 to report today and a Hamilton case is considered to be historical and not infectious, the Health Ministry says.

The total number of active cases in New Zealand is 66, while the total number of confirmed cases is 1,964, the ministry said in a statement this afternoon.

The total number of tests processed by laboratories to date is 1,562,891.

On Sunday, 2,579 tests were processed. The seven-day rolling average up to yesterday is 3,943 tests processed.

The NZ COVID Tracer now has 2,559,151 registered users.

Border-related Hamilton case 

This case reported on Saturday is considered to be historical and is not infectious. The person has been discharged from the quarantine facility.

Genomic sequencing on this case was inconclusive due to the very small amount of viral material in the sample. The test will be re-run later this week, the ministry said.

Genomic sequencing is one of a range of factors, alongside clinical history, PCR test results and serology in considering whether cases are historical.

The local public health unit has considered these factors in making its clinical assessment of the case.
