New Zealand officials report no current coronavirus patients in country's hospitals

Source: The Hill

Health officials in New Zealand announced this week that currently, there are no COVID-19 patients in its hospitals.

Dr. Ashley Bloomfield, the country’s 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.

Pressed during the briefing about whether this was an accurate assessment of hospital coronavirus statistics, Bloomfield answered: “I think it is, absolutely, yes.”

“We've had a number of people in hospital,” he went on. “Never a big number but I think this is the first time in a couple of months we haven't had someone in hospital. That's another good position to be in.”
