Covid-19 cases linked to New Zealand's Delta outbreak are on the up and up

The Government yesterday confirmed there are now 347 people infected with the virus - mostly in Auckland.

While 14 are in Wellington - there's cautious optimism the cases are contained within their households.

Almost two thirds of those infected are under the age of 30 - and nearly 70 per cent are Pasifika people.

The largest sub-cluster has 146 cases and is connected to the Samoan Assembly of God church in Mangere.

New cases reported yesterday also include a student from Pacific Advance Secondary School in Otahuhu.

Nineteen Covid-19 patients are in hospitals across Auckland, but officials says all are in a stable condition.
