Health officials in New Zealand announced this week that currently, there are no COVID-19 patients in its hospitals.
Dr. Ashley Bloomfield, the countrys director-general of health, said during a press briefing on Wednesday that "there is nobody in hospital with COVID-19" following the recent discharge of a patient that had been treated at a hospital in Auckland.
