Count of all COVID-19 cases each day

 

This graph shows the daily reported confirmed and probable cases of COVID-19 since the first New Zealand case in late February 2020. The number of new cases peaked in late March when the country went into Alert Level 4 on 25 March and started to go down in mid-April. By 20 April, there were less than ten cases reported per day and after 1 May less than five per day. There was a resurgence of community transmission in August and September 2020 associated with the Auckland August cluster. Throughout, the confirmed cases have outnumbered the probable cases.

New COVID-19 cases reported each day

 

This graph shows the count of all cases of COVID-19 every day (all cases - active, recovered and deceased) since the first New Zealand case in late February 2020. The graph shows the rapidly increasing number of cases day-by-day from late March until the rate slowed through April as the restrictions during Alert Levels 4 and 3 took hold. The number of active cases increased rapidly until mid-April, peaked in early-April during Alert Level 4, and then decreased to low levels of active cases remaining each day from late-May, mainly at the border isolation facilities. Cases increased again from mid-August due to the Auckland August cluster.
