新西兰今天社区新增90例新冠病例。
周三有 74 人因 Covid-19 住院，其中 6 人仍在接受评估。 六人在重症监护室或高依赖护理病房。
新病例分布在北地、奥克兰、怀卡托、丰盛湾、湖区和纳尔逊-塔斯曼。
继 12 月 1 日和 2 日检测呈阳性后，12 月 6 日在 Tairāwhiti Gisborne 采集的废水样本中也再次检测到该病毒。
公共卫生官员不知道该地区有任何可能传播病毒的康复病例。
卫生部表示，第三次阳性检测“强烈表明”社区中至少有一个未被发现的病例。
鼓励居住在该地区的有任何可能是 Covid-19 症状的人——无论多么轻微——都接受检测。
在住院的 74 人中，14 人在北岸，29 人在奥克兰市，28 人在曼努考，1 人在怀卡托，1 人在陶朗加，1 人在 Nelson-Marlborough。 卫生部表示，其余 6 例病例仍在评估中。
新冠肺炎住院患者的平均年龄为 51 岁。
37 例（57%）未接种疫苗或因年龄原因不符合条件。 12 人（18%）在被报告为病例之前至少 7 天已完全接种疫苗。
奥克兰艾勒斯利花园老年护理机构的一名工作人员的 Covid-19 检测呈阳性。
奥克兰地区公共卫生服务中心和奥克兰 DHB 的工作人员正在为这家私有设施的居民和工作人员提供支持。
南部 DHB 地区的一宗边境相关案件仍在调查中。
公共卫生工作人员已经确定了 14 名密切接触者，包括一名家庭接触者。 所有接触者目前都在隔离，将接受测试。
北地有一个新病例，一名来自丰盛湾的人在凯塔亚的检测结果呈阳性。

昨天宣布的另外两个病例被计入周三的数字——两者都与已知病例有关。
一夜之间，怀卡托确认了 9 例新病例：Te Kūiti 6 例，Ōtorohanga 1 例，还有两个地点正在接受调查。
所有这些病例都在调查以找出与以前病例的联系。
丰盛湾的所有五个新病例都在陶朗加地区。
公共卫生工作人员目前正在对这些病例进行面谈，以确定与现有病例的联系。 卫生部表示，正在确定接触者，并将与他们联系以获得检测和隔离建议。
罗托鲁瓦湖区 DHB 地区有一个新病例，尚未与已知病例联系起来。 Nelson-Tasman 也有一个新病例，与现有病例有关。
呈下降趋势
每天的 Covid 社区病例数出现了积极的趋势——病例数在几周内首次降至略低于 100 大关。
流行病学家迈克尔·贝克教授说，这是一个积极的迹象，表明提高人口中的疫苗接种率正在奏效。
然而，由于交通信号灯系统仅在不到一周前启动，由于奥克兰的限制放宽，我们仍有可能在周末或下周初看到病例激增。
“三级警报的设置运行良好，”他说。
“我认为我们希望看到交通灯系统的病例会增加，因为有更多的混合正在发生。”
贝克将“我们最大的风险”描述为私人聚集和派对，其中包括未接种疫苗的人。
在节日期间，此类派对可能特别难以遏制。
在昨天的数据中，奥克兰市医院共有 25 名感染者，南奥克兰的 Middlemore 医院有 22 人，北岸医院有 14 人，怀卡托医院有两人。
一个人在陶朗加医院，另一个在纳尔逊医院。
在住院的这些人中，有 7 名患者在重症监护室与 Covid 抗争，其中 2 名在奥克兰市医院，3 名在 Middlemore，北岸和怀卡托医院的重症监护病房各有 1 名患者。
新冠肺炎住院患者的平均年龄为 53 岁。
卫生部还证实，南区卫生局现在是该国第五个报告该地区居民接种疫苗覆盖率达到 90% 的 DHB。
卫生官员称这是昨天凌晨达到的“关键里程碑”。
一份声明说：“迄今为止，新西兰 93% 的符合条件的人已经接种了第一剂疫苗，88% 的人已完全接种疫苗。”
There are 90 new cases of Covid-19 in the Delta community outbreak.
There are 74 people in hospital with Covid-19 on Wednesday, including six still being assessed. Six people are in intensive care or high-dependency care units.
The new cases are in Auckland (71), Waikato (nine), Northland (three), Bay of Plenty (five), Lakes (one) and Nelson-Tasman (one).
The virus has also been detected again in a wastewater sample taken in Tairāwhiti Gisborne on December 6, following positive detections on December 1 and 2.
Public Health Officials are not aware of any recovered cases in the region who may be shedding the virus.
A third positive detection “strongly indicates” that there is at least one undetected case in the community, the ministry said.
Anyone living in the region with any symptoms that could be Covid-19 – no matter how mild – is encouraged to get a test.
Of the 74 people in hospital, 14 are at North Shore, 29 are at Auckland City, 28 are at Counties Manukau, one is at Waikato, one is at Tauranga and one is at Nelson-Marlborough. The remaining six cases are still being assessed, the Ministry of Health said.
The average age of those in hospital with Covid is 51.
Thirty-seven cases (57 per cent) are unvaccinated or ineligible due to age. Twelve (18 per cent) were fully vaccinated at least seven days before being reported as a case.
A staff member at Ellerslie Gardens Aged Residential Care facility in Auckland has tested positive for Covid-19.
Auckland Regional Public Health Service and Auckland DHB staff are supporting the residents and staff at the privately owned facility.
A border-related case remains under investigation in the Southern DHB area.
Public health staff have identified 14 close contacts including a household contact. All contacts are currently isolating and will be tested.
There is one new case in Northland, a person from the Bay of Plenty who returned a positive test in Kaitaia.
This case will be recorded in Bay of Plenty District Health Board’s case numbers once interviews have been completed.
Two further cases announced yesterday are counted in Wednesday’s numbers – both been linked to known cases.
There were nine new cases confirmed in Waikato overnight: six in Te Kūiti, one in Ōtorohanga, and two locations are under investigation.
All are under investigation for links to previous cases.
All five new cases in Bay of Plenty are in the Tauranga area.
Public health staff are currently interviewing the cases to determine links to existing cases. Contacts are being identified and will be contacted for testing and isolation advice, the ministry said.
There is one new case in Rotorua, in the Lakes DHB area, which is yet to be linked to a known case. There is also one new case in Nelson-Tasman, which is linked to an existing case.
