Sad news from New Zealand this morning
as the country reports its first death from Covid-19 since the end of May.
The man in his 50s died in an Auckland
hospital on Friday, having been in intensive care for the last few days, the
health ministry said.
Auckland, the countrys largest city,
has been at the centre of a cluster of more than 100 cases of Covid-19 in
recent weeks, with five more cases reported on Friday.
New Zealand received international
praise for its early response to the pandemic and went more than 100 days
without any new locally-transmitted cases. Restrictions have since been increased to
try and contain the latest outbreak.
