Health New Zealand say there are no new
measles cases
since the original case notified on 10 May.
That person was no longer infectious and was now out of isolation with no new locations of interest at this time, Health New Zealand's public health medicine specialist Dr Matt Reid said.
"As noted in Friday's update, the 19 people undergoing serology testing were included in the 78 people in quarantine at the time.
"While we don't as a rule comment on an individual's immunity status, anyone not considered immune has been offered vaccination once quarantine has been completed.
"As of 9am today, 36 out of the 78 contacts referred to on Friday remain in quarantine, with the majority of these expected to be released on Wednesday (21/5). All others have been released," he said.
Reid said a further update would be provided later this week.

Tegal staff raised concerns about chemical exposure and several leaks before worker hospitalised, says union
Tegal's Christchurch plant. Photo: Google Maps The workers' union Etū says staff at Tegal's Christchurch plant have been raising concerns about chemical exposure for the last year and are not being taken seriously. It comes after a worker was hospitalised on Monday after high levels of chloramine were found in the air. Chloramine, a compound containing chlorine and ammonia, is used at the plant as a disinfectant to reduce bacterial contamination in chicken. St John said one person was assessed at the scene and transported to Christchurch Hospital in a moderate condition. They are now understood to be recovering at home. A spokesperson for Tegal said an extraction fan fault, which had since been addressed, was to blame for the chemical exposure. But Etū organiser Sara Currey said staff at the Christchurch plant had been dealing with issues for the last year and Tegel needed to work with the union and its delegates to find a solution. "The workers have been reporting that there have been several chemical leaks over the last six to 12 months, and they've been raising concerns around the chemical exposure and other health and safety risks for months, but Tegel has failed to act on it." She said there had been another chemical exposure event in June, as well as the one on Monday. Currey said she understood that chloramine had been used in the plant for a long time, but a change in process last year had led to issues with higher than acceptable levels. "Many workers have been experiencing red eyes, sore eyes, swelling of the eyes so that they can't see, a lot of coughing, horrific coughing that some people have needed to be medicated for." In one case, ACC had accepted a claim for a staff members work-related illness. She said of the 250-odd workforce, many were immigrants for whom English wasn't their first language and around 70 were union members. "We're mainly concerned that Tegel haven't been up front with either the workers or the union about what's happened. I still don't have key questions I've asked about Monday's incident, no information about why it happened, why people weren't sent home and why the plant was continuing to operate after a possible chemical leak." Currey said it was estimated around 60 people were off work after the exposure on Tuesday and it wasn't clear if they were sent home on full pay or if they were made to use their sick leave, which was not acceptable if they had become ill while at work. "Obviously this chemical is causing significant issues and they need to explore other avenues rather than just keep trying to make this chemical work, which it's clearly not in terms of health and safety for their workers." A Tegal spokesperson said the high level of chloramine detected in the plant on Monday was due to an extraction fan fault in the room where the chemical was used. "This issue compounded by atmospheric conditions on Monday led to fumes being blown directly into the air intake for the production plant which caused some staff to experience irritated eyes and coughing." The spokesperson said some people chose to go home, while others continued to work using personal protective equipment (PPE). One person was taken to hospital for observation and later released. The spokesperson said corrective actions were taken as soon as the cause was identified, and levels were now back to normal and would continue to be monitored. "We take the health and safety of our people seriously and are supporting those who have experienced discomfort or health impacts. We are also working with extraction system specialists to ensure this cannot happen again." Issues with high chloramine levels had occurred "periodically in the past" and a new air handling unit had been installed and was working successfully until the issue on Monday.

Tairāwhiti among worst regions for heart failure and care, Health NZ working to improve service
A cardiac catheterisation procedure within three days of arrival at the hospital was performed 28.5% of the time in Tairāwhiti compared to the national average of 64.7%. One positive statistic in the report for Tairāwhiti was that the rate at which first medical contact occurred within 60 minutes of having heart attack symptoms was 80% in Tairāwhiti, compared to a national average of 50.2%. The report drew on Ministry of Health data, which indicated there were no cardiologists in Tairāwhiti. The report also notes the Medical Council Workforce Survey showed Tairāwhiti had 0.4 of a fulltime equivalent cardiologist for the entire region. Overall, the report found the country's heart care system was 'on the verge of collapse'. Māori and Pacific people were hospitalised or died from heart disease more than a decade earlier, on average, than other New Zealanders. The national heart health care system was plagued by chronic under-resourcing, critical workforce shortages and deadly inequities. Heart disease contributed to 5% of hospital admissions and 20% of deaths across the country. Health NZ Tairāwhiti group director of operations, Nicola Barrington, told the Gisborne Herald Health NZ was committed to ensuring patients had timely access to high-quality cardiac services wherever they lived in New Zealand. 'We are working hard to improve heart care services in Tairāwhiti by expanding access to cardiology services through a combination of digital health services, visiting specialists – including locum cardiologists and visiting clinicians – and nurse practitioner support," Barrington said. Health NZ had partnered with HeartLab to reduce wait times for heart scan reporting, she said. Barrington said efforts to recruit cardiology specialists to Tairāwhiti had been ongoing for some time. 'As with many other regions in New Zealand, attracting specialists to rural and regional areas like Tairāwhiti remains a challenge,' she said. 'We are continuing to recruit cardiologists, cardiac care specialists and sonographers to Gisborne Hospital. 'These efforts include a dedicated international recruitment campaign promoting the unique lifestyle and professional opportunities that Tairāwhiti offers. 'Encouragingly, we have received applications from a number of experienced doctors, some of whom we hope will focus their careers on caring for our whānau with cardiac issues in Tairāwhiti.' Barrington said Health New Zealand was funding the training of 26 cardiac sonographers, with 10 graduating by the end of this year and the rest next year. The intention was to place them in the areas of greatest need, 'which includes our region'. Health New Zealand's National Clinical Cardiac Network was developing national standards and models of care, and establishing dedicated work streams, with strong clinical leadership and input from many regions, including Tairāwhiti. 'We are also exploring new ways of working within our region to optimise how we share the cardiology expertise to Tairāwhiti to provide equitable care across Te Manawa Taki [the Tairāwhiti, Waikato, Lakes, Bay of Plenty and Taranaki health districts]'. She said the regional approach meant Tairāwhiti could offer better care and have more options for hiring skilled staff. 'We are planning by looking at ways to make our heart care team more resilient, by continuing to recruit nurse practitioners and specialist nurses. 'Our goal is to build a reliable, patient-focused heart service that meets the needs of people in Tairāwhiti now and in the years ahead,' said Barrington.

The disease continues to strike in other parts of the Pacific . Samoa's Ministry of Health said this week more than 9000 cases of dengue fever have been clinically diagnosed in the country since January. As of 17 August, 9571 clinically diagnosed cases have been confirmed, of which 3070 are laboratory-confirmed. Six people have died . An update from the Cook Islands Ministry of Health on Monday said 93 cases had been recorded in Rarotonga since February. The UN's OCHA ReliefWeb service reported as of 18 August, Nauru's Ministry of Health had confirmed 379 dengue cases out of the 1,158 tests conducted. A 15-year-old and a seven-year-old have also died there .
