There are 74 new community cases of Covid-19 in New Zealand today.
In a statement, the Ministry of Health said the new community cases are in Auckland, Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Rotorua and Canterbury.
There are 61 cases in hospital, including three in intensive care.
One person with Covid-19 has passed away in Tauranga Hospital, the Ministry has confirmed.
Counties Manukau DHB has now reached 90 percent fully vaccinated, bringing all three Auckland Metro DHBs to 90 percent or more fully vaccinated. Auckland DHB is now sitting on 95 percent and Waitemata DHB is on 92 percent.
New Zealand is now 7417 doses away from being nationally 90 percent fully vaccinated.
There were 2485 first doses; 7877 second doses; 869 third primary doses and 9229 booster doses given yesterday.
Today is the first day of Auckland's border restrictions being lifted after the Delta outbreak began in August.
It is also the first day that rapid antigen testing for Covid-19 is available at approved pharmacies for unvaccinated and asymptomatic travellers over the age of 12.
While the ministry has dispatched 250,000 tests across the country, some in Auckland have told RNZ they have only received a small number, or none at all, and may have to turn people away.
