Not a great sign for new Zealand
New Zealand health officials reported 11 new covid-19 cases today. Importantly, three appear to have escaped the outbreak in Auckland, instead appearing in the capital Wellington.
That takes the total to 33 locally-transmitted cases, by my count.
There is a minor tick lower in NZD on the headlines, wiping out an earlier small gain.
I expect to hear many more details in about 90 minutes from PM Ardern but this doesn't sound great. That said, there has been a tremendous amount of testing in the past 48 hours, particularly with contacts. We'll have to wait and see what she has to say.
