New Zealand reported its first case of Omicron BA.5 variant at the border amid 12,392 community cases during the weekend, said the Ministry of Health in a statement on Sunday.

WELLINGTON, New Zealand —

It can take weeks or months to assess the severity of each new variant or sub-variant, so the Ministry of Health will continue to monitor the emerging evidence closely, it is said. New Zealand is currently under the orange settings of the Covid-19 Protection Framework, where there is no limit for gatherings.

According to the ministry, Sunday’s seven-day rolling average of community case numbers is 7,510, even a little bit higher than last Sunday’s 7,414 reported cases.
