The number of people who have recovered from COVID-19 is up to 1,302 - up 26 on yesterday's number.

This means 88 per cent of all confirmed and probable cases are now recovered.

Yesterday, for the first time in almost eight weeks, there were no positive tests of Covid-19 in a 24 hour period.

But Bloomfield warned we wouldn't see what impact dropping down to level 3 had until later this week due to the incubation period of the coronavirus.
