There are two new cases of Covid-19 recorded in New Zealand's managed isolation and quarantine facilities today, the Ministry of Health confirmed, as well as one in Hamilton.
The total number of active cases of Covid-19 in New Zealand is now 64 after one previously reported case has recovered.
One of the new cases is active while the other is historical, Director of Public Health Dr Caroline McElnay said at a press conference today.
Both of these cases are in Christchurch and are returnees from the United States.
The historical case arrived on February 1 and the active case on February 4.
As well as the new border cases, a community case in Hamilton was announced earlier today, linked to the Pullman Hotel in Auckland.
The person tested negative three times before returning a positive result, the Ministry of Health said.
The person, who is now the fifth to test positive after isolating at the Pullman Hotel, has been isolating at home since January 30.
