Charlotte Graham-McLean To the Guardian:

Health officials said Monday that there were no new cases of Covit-19 in New Zealand.

There are 55 active viruses in New Zealand, 28 of which are imported on return travelers from overseas, all of which rely on government-run isolation facilities.

The other 27 are community-spread cases in Auckland, the largest city, and the only place in New Zealand with some Covid 19 restrictions.

The Auckland cluster – which is shrinking in size – triggered the city’s second lockout, which now makes it easier. With the exception of strict border controls, the rest of New Zealand has largely returned to normal life.

One is hospitalized with the virus.

There are 1,477 cases related to Covid 19 in New Zealand with 25 deaths.

Johns Hopkins University Tracker currently has 996,084 deaths confirmed, just below 4,000 from the catastrophic milestone of 1m of people who have lost their lives to the epidemic in nine months so far.

North Dakota’s positive test rate averages 30% over the past seven days compared to the previous week. The positive rate in South Dakota rose to 26% from 17% the previous week, according to analysis using test data from The Govt Tracking Program. Minnesota and Montana averaged 7% positive returns, but analysis shows Montana’s positive rate rose to 20% on Sunday.

The World Health Organization considers rates to be more than 5% because it suggests that there are more undiagnosed cases in the community. Many states, such as New York, Massachusetts, Vermont and Maine, have positive test rates of less than 1%.

At the same time positive test rates are rising in the Midwest, with cases and hospital admissions setting records in those states.

In the past week, five Midwestern states have set records for five new central epidemics: Minnesota, Montana, South Dakota, Wisconsin and Wyoming.

Merseyside, Northeast and Lancashire are expected to be added to the new operations along with London, the newspaper said.
