In a statement, the Ministry of Health said more than 3.1 million New Zealanders now fully vaccinated.
New Zealand had 303 cases over the weekend including Saturday's 160 new infections which was a record for the pandemic.
There was no media conference at 1pm, with Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern due to hold a briefing at 4pm to announce Cabinet's decision on whether alert levels for Auckland and parts of Waikato will be eased.
The next stage within alert level 3 would be 'step 2' where retail could operate and public facilities like pools, libraries and museums reopen, subject to mask-wearing and social distancing.
Ardern told Morning Report she would be sharing more details on Covid-19 modelling which suggests a rise in case numbers which would peak at 200 per day this month.
