"# of cases" includes both confirmed and probable cases, with 44,111 probable cases identified as of 8 April 2024.[5] The number of new cases reported for each date appears in brackets next to the # of cases.
Asterisks (*) and carets (^) denote dates in which the number of new, active cases (in brackets) reported does not equal the increase in total # of cases (compared with the # of cases from the previous date):
Asterisks indicate that one or more previously reported cases have subsequently been reclassified: a previously confirmed case may have been removed, or a previously removed case may have been reconfirmed. Discrepancies may also be due to data updating and reconciliation.
Carets indicate that the # of cases includes one or more historical cases that were considered already recovered at the time of reporting. These are not considered new, active cases, but have still been added to the total # of cases.

On 10 April, University of Otago epidemiologist Michael Baker urged the New Zealand Government to retain the few remaining COVID-19 restrictions including the mandatory seven-day isolation period for positive cases and mask wearing at hospitals.[33]
On 11 April, Radio New Zealand reported that 219 COVID-19 patients remained in hospital as of midnight 9 April, with seven in intensive care. That same day, Prime Minister Chris Hipkins confirmed that the Government was considering scrapping the mandatory seven-day isolation period for COVID-19 positive cases.[34] That same day, Hipkins and Minister of HealthAyesha Verrall confirmed that the Government would retain the few remaining COVID-19 restrictions such as the seven-day mandatory isolation period for positive cases and mask wearing requirements at hospitals for at least two months.[35]
On 17 April, Radio New Zealand reported a surge in infections, reinfections, hospitalisations and deaths reported over the past week. In response, epidemiologist Baker stated that New Zealand was experiencing its fourth wave of COVID-19 infections and urged the public to take the new COVID-19 booster vaccine, isolate if they are infected, and wear facemasks in poorly ventilated environments.[36]
On 24 April, Radio New Zealand reported that there were 292 patients in hospital and nine in intensive care. The highest number of active cases were in the Canterbury Region, Auckland, and the Southern District. University of Otago epidemiologist Peter McIntyre has urged the Government to focus on getting higher-risk individuals including the elderly, Māori, and Pasifika aged over 60 years double-boosted rather than focusing on infection control through mask wearing and improved ventilation.[37]

On 21 December, the spread of the JN.1 Omicron variant led to a surge of COVID-19 cases, resulting in 400 hospitalisations per week and 25 deaths.[109] The JN.1 variant accounted for 14% of sequenced cases reported in the week leading up to 15 December. Based on these figures,Institute of Environmental Science and Research (ESR) pathogen genomics technical lead David Winter projected that the JN.1 variant would be the dominant variant by January 2024.[110]
Notes
^ a b cThe large increase in recovered cases on these dates is due to changes in case definitions. Starting from 16 December 2021, active cases were automatically considered recovered after 21 days, after previously requiring clearance from a medical practitioner.[1] On 4 March 2022 this period was reduced to 10 days, and from 18 March it was reduced further to 7 days.
^ a bChanges in the number of deaths reported on these dates are due to redefinitions of Covid deaths. Initially, a Covid death was reported when COVID-19 was a confirmed or likely cause of death. Starting on 10 March 2022, Covid deaths were reported automatically when a person died within 28 days of testing positive for COVID-19, or when deaths were clearly linked to COVID-19 after 28 days.[2] From 26 July 2022, a Covid death is reported when COVID-19 is considered the underlying or a contributory cause; previously reported deaths not meeting the new definition were removed from the total number of Covid deaths.[3]
