Funny how all the reviews of PM Ardern's handling of #Covid19nz were positive, with a few hindsight comments about lessons!

Unfortunately we still haven't systemically cleaned our air or invested heavily in our health or communities. 😬 #nzpol

New Zealand will no longer give timely COVID death updates. From July 17, 2025, deaths are only reported via the Mortality Collection – a slower process that lags weeks or months. Official counts will look lower, but the deaths are still happening.

#COVID19NZ
Note: Due to a change in the underlying IT systems, deaths attributed to COVID-19 will no longer be reported with the same recency, and COVID-19 attributed deaths will now be reported from the Mortality Collections only. This ensures that deaths have undergone systemic checks and include coronial inquest findings, which is in line with the reporting of deaths from other diseases, including other scheduled Notifiable Diseases. From the 17th of July 2025 only deaths recorded in the Mortality Collection will be reported as COVID-19 attributed. The most recent data in the Mortality Collection is for 2022 which is preliminary - more information can be found on the Mortality Collection webpage(external link)

**The age breakdown for deaths isn’t right — looks like last week’s data again**

#COVID19NZ
*The change in total deaths with COVID may not be equal to the number of new deaths reported today. This is because deaths that occurred more than 28 days after a positive test that are subsequently determined to be unrelated to COVID are removed from the total. Of the 17 people whose deaths we are reporting today: one was from Auckland region, three were from Waikato, one was from Hawke's Bay, one was from Taranaki, one was from MidCentral, four were from Wellington region, two were from Nelson Marlborough, four were from Canterbury.
