• Covid-19 has now claimed 2.13 million lives worldwide, with a total of 99.3m cases.
• Meanwhile NZ health officials are investigating a case of the virus in the community - a woman, 56, who was infected in a managed isolation facility with the South African strain.
• Australia swiftly halted its travel bubble with NZ after news of the latest case.
Thousands of people who have had Covid-19 tests in the past two days should get their results today.
This will give a clearer picture whether the virus has spread after a 56-year-old woman tested positive for Covid-19 after leaving managed isolation in Auckland travelling widely in Northland.

The pair believe the building “represents an opportunity to create a space that Maryborough doesn’t have”.
Their design for the space also provides easy offices for others that need either a full-time premise or “just somewhere to work from time to time”.
“We also feel that offering a place to rent an office on a short-term basis will help start-ups and work from home businesses that can’t afford to commit to a long-term lease arrangement,” Ms Frahm said.
The old Furniture and Carpet Court building at 129 Adelaide St, Maryborough was also purchased on December 17.
