There are 21 new cases of COVID-19 in the New Zealand community to confirm
today. This brings the total number of cases in the community outbreak to 51.
All cases have or are being transferred safely to a managed isolation
facility, under strict infection prevention and control procedures, including
the use of full PPE.
Of the 21 new cases, 18 are in Auckland and three are in Wellington — one of
which we reported yesterday and has been included in the numbers reported
today.
This brings Wellington’s number of community cases to 6.
Of the 51 cases, 32 are linked to other community cases identified in the
outbreak. Investigations are continuing to determine whether and how the
remaining 19 cases are linked to the outbreak. We will continue to release
this information and new locations of interest as it becomes available.
Public health interviews with the cases are continuing. One of the new
Wellington cases is a household contact of the previously reported case based
in Johnsonville. At this stage, interviews have determined this person’s
locations of interest are the same as those for the case we reported
yesterday.
Another of the cases flew from Auckland to Wellington on Thursday and has
reported no locations of interest in Wellington. The flight is a location of
interest and details are on the Ministry of Health website.
ESR continues to run whole genome sequencing on samples taken from all new
cases to support ongoing investigations into the outbreak. ESR has completed
sequencing for 29 of these cases, including the three Wellington cases
reported yesterday, and found all have genome links to the Auckland cluster.
In addition, there are 3 new cases in recent returnees in a managed isolation
facility.

紐西蘭今天本土+21，境外3(居隔發病)
社區感染目前病例數51，全部都照程序隔離完成。
今日的21病例中，奧克蘭+18、威靈頓+3(其中1個昨天有說明，並加進今天的數字)
社區感染的52例中還有19例正在疫調，會持續更新相關資訊
威靈頓新病例中其一是昨天Johnsonville病例的家庭接觸者，疫調足跡相同。
另一個病例在週四(8/19)從奧克蘭飛往威靈頓，而病患疫調沒有說出威靈頓的地點
因此在衛生部公開該航班的細節。
ESR會持續對近期病例做定序。
目前定序完成29個病例，包含昨天3個威靈頓病例。
所有定序結果都發現和奧克蘭群聚有關。
