There is one new case to report in Christchurch today.

The case recently travelled to the North Island, and a probable link to another case is being investigated.

The Ministry of Health said “every new case is an urgent reminder to get tested if you’re feeling unwell. Testing at high numbers will help to minimise and contain the spread of COVID-19 in Christchurch.”

”There is good testing capacity across the city today and over the weekend. Testing locations throughout Canterbury can be found on the Canterbury DHB website.”

The Ministry continues to ask people in Canterbury to regularly check the Ministry’s locations of interest page.

”If you haven’t had your first dose yet, or are overdue for your second dose, there’s plenty of capacity at vaccination clinics in Canterbury this weekend.”

Yesterday in Canterbury there were more than 2,700 community tests processed and more than 3,200 vaccinations given.
