Active Cases
Hemant made this Official Information request to Ministry of Health
The request was partially successful.
From: Hemant
Dear Ministry of Health,
As of the 16th of December (you can choose the time that makes the request easiest to process)
How many active cases of covid 19 are there in new zealand relating to the current community outbreak.
I am defining active cases as cases which have had covid 19, but have not recovered.
I am defining recovered as ""Recovered cases are people who had the virus, where at least 10 days have passed since their symptoms started and they have not had symptoms for 72 hours, and they have been cleared by the health professional responsible for their monitoring."
Yours faithfully,
Hemant

From: Hemant
Dear OIA Requests,
Hi,
I can't find the information i'm after, as the information on the page you linked to, talks about people that have been active in the last 21 days, which is different to my question.
How many active cases of covid 19 are there in new zealand relating to the current community outbreak.
I am defining active cases as cases which have had covid 19, but have not recovered.
I am defining recovered as ""Recovered cases are people who had the virus, where at least 10 days have passed since their symptoms started and they have not had symptoms for 72 hours, and they have been cleared by the health professional responsible for their monitoring."
Yours sincerely,
Hemant
