Case average lower

The Aotearoa-wide seven-day rolling average of Covid-19 cases is down compared to the same day the previous week, for a second day. The rolling average yesterday is 7540, compared to 8166 the Friday before, the Ministry of Health said. This follows a five-day period – April 23-27 – when the rolling average was higher than the week before. The rolling average for Auckland, however, continues to climb, week on week. For the fourth day in a row, the average number of cases recorded over the previous seven days is up compared to the same day last week: 2005 yesterday, up from last Friday’s 1362.
