Alice Angeloni Reporter from Marlborough Express

One new Coronavirus case has been confirmed for the top of the south this weekend, bringing the total in Marlborough and Nelson to 19.

However, Nelson Marlborough Health had not confirmed where the newest positive patient was based by the time of publication, with an update likely by Monday morning.

The positive result was confirmed on Sunday by the Ministry of Health, while there were no new cases in the top of the south on Friday or Saturday.

The national tally increased by 63 on Sunday to 514 confirmed and probable cases in total, and the first death linked to Covid-19 has been confirmed. A woman in her 70s died on the West Coast on Sunday morning

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
