Patient update
The Ministry of Health is very sad to confirm the death of a patient with COVID-19 at North Shore Hospital.
The patient was transferred from a Managed Isolation Facility into hospital-level care for the treatment of a serious non-COVID-19 related condition on 5 February. This person subsequently returned a positive result for COVID-19 following their admission. This positive result has been reported previously.
The patient spoke with family daily, either by zoom or phone.
‘On behalf of New Zealanders, I want to recognise this family’s loss,’ said Director-General of Health Dr Ashley Bloomfield.
‘This is a time for us all to offer our deep sympathy, while also respecting the family’s privacy.’
