There is one new case of COVID-19 to report in managed isolation in Christchurch.

This person is a member of the Pakistan cricket squad and was one of the three cases reported as under investigation yesterday.

The Ministry of Health said in a statement, they have now been confirmed to have an active COVID-19 infection.

The two other cases remain under investigation.

The team is not allowed to train until the Canterbury DHB medical officer of health determines they are satisfied that any training activities are unlikely to transmit COVID-19.

One previously reported case has now recovered, so the total number of active cases remains at 72.

The total number of confirmed cases is now 1,704.

Yesterday laboratories processed 7,076 tests for COVID-19, bringing the total number of tests completed to date to 1,285,766.

There are no new community cases.
