New Zealand records first Covid-19 death since May

New Zealand has recorded its first coronavirus death in more than three months.

A man in his 50s succumbed to the virus on Friday.

Health officials said the man was part of a second-wave cluster of infections that emerged in Auckland last month, ending a spell of 102 days free of community transmission in the South Pacific nation.

The death at Auckland’s Middlemore Hospital on Friday afternoon takes New Zealand’s death toll from the virus to 23, with the most recent previous fatality on May 24.
