That is roughly at 9% increase in the number of confirmed cases
Meanwhile, another 66 deaths are reported and that brings the total tally to 455 deaths.
A somewhat positive sign in all of this is that the percentage increase in the number of cases in Germany has fallen into single digits for two days in a row now.
That will provide some comfort that containment efforts are working but as NZ prime minister Jacinda Ardern warned earlier, the reopening of borders will present a whole different challenge even if the domestic situation for most countries gets better in due time.
