More than 40,000 had been reported in the past 24 hours, of which 14,618 were positive. International travel pre-departure testing was not covered under the public health response. Among 5- to 11-year-olds, 2009 got their first dose and 550 their second, with 52.3 per cent of this group having had their first dose. However, rates of infection were highest for Pacific people, at 7510 cases per 100,000 people. One tradie in Auckland told the Herald he knew about 25 people with Covid-19 and none of them had officially recorded their case with the Ministry of Health. "The Ministry of Health acknowledges there have been some waits for people who have called the 0800 number to report their rapid antigen test results during a period of high demand." She said she had managed to record her 12-year-old son's positive RAT result online, but had needed to phone to record the positive result of her younger child. The ministry said they believed the decline could be because of people failing to report their results from RATs, whether positive or negative. Despite the drop in cases, public health officials still believe the decrease could be related to delays in people self-reporting the results of their RATs, even if negative. The ministry thanked people for reporting the results of their RAT tests. "The number of cases in hospital is currently expected to peak in the second half of this month," officials said today. Of the 618 people in hospital, 10 are in intensive care.
