    Amid falling case numbers, we've recorded our first Covid-19-related death in more than 200 days

    Amid falling case numbers, we've recorded our first Covid-19-related death in more than 200 days


    The Ministry of Health says a woman in her 90s died in Auckland's North Shore Hospital last night.

    Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says every death is a reminder of the damage Covid-19 can cause when it gets into our community.

    She said older New Zealanders and those with underlying health issues are by far the most at risk from the virus and one of the reasons lockdowns are such an important tool to stop its spread.

    The woman had a number of underlying health conditions which made it inappropriate for her to receive ventilator or ICU care.

    She had been admitted to hospital a week ago, catching the virus from a household contact.
