Wellington area covid data
Graphs show combined data from the Capital and Coast and Hutt Valley DHBs.
New case numbers have been bouncing around but the rolling average is still trending slowly downward.
The active cases graph looks weird because the Ministry has changed the category definition a couple of times to align with changes to isolation requirements. Most of the big drop on 18 March was due to this change, but the main takeaway is that active cases in the Wellington area are currently declining.
Hospitalisations are still up there, so take extra care to stay safe and healthy folks; we want to minimise the pressure on our hospitals.

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
