No new cases in the Clutha/Southland region today, the Ministry of Health and Southern DHB announced. The total confirmed Civd-19 cases in Clutha/Southland is 58, made up of Southland (10), Invercargill (41) Gore (2) and Clutha (5).

1660 tests were processed yesterday, with a rolling 7-day average of 3230 and total tests to date of 62,827. We anticipated a drop off in testing over the Easter holiday period. Partly this is due to the effect of public holidays, and also with the measures in place around Alert Level 4, we would expect fewer people to be presenting with respiratory issues.
