There is one new case of COVID-19 in managed isolation in New Zealand today. 

It has been 76 days since the last case of COVID-19 was acquired locally from an unknown source. 

Today’s case is the child of two people previously reported as having COVID-19.

They arrived in New Zealand from Italy on July 4.

The family is in quarantine at the Commodore Hotel in Christchurch. 

One previously reported case is now considered to have recovered, so the number of active cases of COVID-19 in New Zealand remains at 27. 

The total number of confirmed cases is now 1,198, which is the number reported to the World Health Organization. 

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

Yesterday laboratories completed 2,899 tests, and 726 of those were taken at managed isolation or quarantine facilities.

That brings the total number of tests completed to date to 436,233.
