Covid-19 update: 28 new community cases today

There are 28 new cases of Covid-19 in the community, and no new Omicron cases in Managed Isolation and Quarantine (MIQ).

In a statement, the Ministry of Health said of the new cases, 21 are in Auckland, five in Bay of Plenty, and two in Taranaki.

There were also five cases detected at the border. They arrived between 15 and 19 December, with one from Tanzania, two from the United Kingdom, and the rest have yet to confirm their travel history. Four are in Auckland, one is in Christchurch.

Three previously reported cases in Canterbury were reclassified as 'under investigation' and have now subsequently been reclassified again as confirmed cases.

Meanwhile, the Waitangi Tribunal this morning released a scathing report into the government's Covid-19 response, finding several Treaty breaches.

It said the government's decision to go against its own expert advice put Maori at a disproportionate risk in the Delta outbreak.
