There are 13 new COVID-19 cases in New Zealand.

The 13 new cases are all in Auckland and linked to the four cases initially confirmed earlier this week.

The new cases include children. NZ’s Director General of Health Dr. Ashley Bloomfield says a lot of thought had gone into moving confirmed cases into quarantine facilities.

19 other active cases are in managed isolation and are directly linked to the border.
