NZ Covid Stats
Weekly updates from NZ Ministry of Health (“Te Whatu Ora”), presented by Vaccination Status, and other Vaccination Status-related data.
As of 24 February 2024, TWO has stopped providing Vaccination Status data for Cases/Hospital/ICU/Deaths with Covid. I will resume the Weekly updates if they ever return.
Unless otherwise specified, all data presented in this section is sourced from the NZ Government, with links to that source data provided.
**Data to 6 February 2024 has Case/Hospital/ICU per-capita based on the entire population but lacking the 12 and under values, this had no impact on any Boosted per-capita rates, but artificially decreased all others. With the correct values, each of 2/1/0 dose cohorts per-capita values would be higher.
From 6 February 2024 these per-capita statistics are based on the population with the 5-12s removed. No change to Death per-capita.
