There has been one new death and five new cases of COVID-19 in New Zealand, Director-General of Health Dr Ashley Bloomfield confirmed on Monday.
The new cases include one confirmed and four probable. Three of the new cases are linked to the St Margaret's Hospital and Rest Home. The other two are linked to other cases.
The woman who died was in her 90s and was a resident of St Margaret's. She had a number of underlying health conditions and was the third person to die in that cluster.
The Waitemata DHB released a statement on Monday, expressing condolences to her family.
"The thoughts and prayers of Waitematā DHB's staff and management are with the patient's family and friends at this difficult time.
"We are all saddened by their loss and ask that the family's privacy is respected as they mourn the passing of their loved one."

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said the country has “avoided the worst” by taking accumulative actions.
"I am optimistic we can continue on the path of success. We can only do this if we pull together."
However, Ardern also warned that if needed the country would remain at level 3.
