As the Delta-variant showed no signs of slowing, New Zealand reported the largest number of COVID-19 cases in a single day since the epidemic began.
The number of new virus cases has surpassed the previous daily high of 89, which was achieved in April of last year during the initial wave of Covid-19 infections.
While the number of cases is still small by international standards, it has been slowly increasing since the highly transmissible Delta form was discovered in New Zealand in mid-August.
