On 15 April, there were 152 cases in hospital with a seven day rolling average of 374 per day.[40] In mid-April 2024, the University of Washington's latest Global Burden of Disease study reported that the all-age mortality rate between 2020 and 2021 was negative in New Zealand and six other countries including Taiwan, Mongolia, Japan, Iceland, Antigua and Barbuda, and Barbados. In 2021, New Zealand and Barbados were the only two countries with negative excess mortality. University of Otago epidemiologist Professor Michael Baker attributed the country's negative excess mortality rate to its elimination strategy during that period, which kept Covid numbers down until vaccines became widely available. In 2022, the death toll rose by 10.2% compared with the previous year due to the relaxation of pandemic restrictions and the concurrent outbreak of the Omicron variant. By 2024, nearly 6,000 New Zealanders had died with COVID-19.[41]
On 23 April, there were 167 cases reported in hospital as of midnight 21 April. The seven-day rolling average was 340 per day. Canterbury and Waitematā had the highest number of infections, reporting 398 and 232 cases respectively.[42]

edit- ^ a b c The large increase in recovered cases on these dates is due to changes in case definitions. Starting from 16 December 2021, active cases were automatically considered recovered after 21 days, after previously requiring clearance from a medical practitioner.[1] On 4 March 2022 this period was reduced to 10 days, and from 18 March it was reduced further to 7 days.
- ^ a b Changes in the number of deaths reported on these dates are due to redefinitions of Covid deaths. Initially, a Covid death was reported when COVID-19 was a confirmed or likely cause of death. Starting on 10 March 2022, Covid deaths were reported automatically when a person died within 28 days of testing positive for COVID-19, or when deaths were clearly linked to COVID-19 after 28 days.[2] From 26 July 2022, a Covid death is reported when COVID-19 is considered the underlying or a contributory cause; previously reported deaths not meeting the new definition were removed from the total number of Covid deaths.[3]
