The government said the victim was the 85-year-old husband of the elderly woman who died yesterday.
They will both be buried today.

Seven people are in hospital care while most cases are considered recovered.
Most active cases are in urban areas of Tahiti, but there are also some in Moorea and Hao.

The second Covid-19 wave arrived after the government and the French High Commission opened the border in July, abolishing quarantine requirements for arriving travellers.
