There are no active cases on the northside.

Of the active cases, 18 people with COVID-19 are in hospital and none are in intensive care.

Health Minister Steven Miles said this morning it was important that people in the southeast wore masks when they could not socially distance.

“If you are in a place in the southeast where you cannot be physically distant please consider wearing a mask,” he said.

“It’s the best way to keep yourself safe and the others around you safe.”
