There are no new deaths today. The death toll remains at 22, including 12 from the Rosewood cluster.

A total of 1,481 people are reported as having recovered from COVID-19 - no change on yesterday.

There is just one person left in New Zealand with a known active infection.

That case is a woman in her 50s linked to the St Margaret's rest home cluster in Auckland.

She will be considered recovered once she has gone two days with no symptoms.

There is no one in New Zealand receiving hospital-level care for COVID-19.

Kiwis will find out on Monday when the country will move to level 1, which could be just days later.

Jacinda Ardern had initially marked June 22 for D-Day to decide about moving to level 1, but she had left the door open to move the date forward.

Moving to level 1 will continue the debate around reopening borders and operating a transtasman bubble with Australia.
