The absence of new cases in Canterbury and Nelson-Marlborough is positive. Rising cases in the Waikato, Bay of Plenty and Lakes increases the risk of transmission into other low-Māori vaccination DHBs, particularly when the Auckland border opens on 15 December. With the Waikato and Northland having recently moved to Alert Level 2, there is a significant risk of further increases amongst Māori communities. The Māori full vaccination rate in each of these District Health Boards ranges between 40% and 60%. The continuing steady rise of new cases in the Waikato (20), Northland (4), Bay of Plenty (5) and Lakes (1) is a considerable concern. Total Delta cases passed the 7,000 mark today.
