In a statement, the Ministry of Health said there were also 383 people in hospital, including six in ICU.
Of the deaths being reported today, two were from the Auckland region, one was from Waikato, one was from MidCentral, two were from Taranaki, one was from the Hutt Valley, three were from Canterbury, and one was from South Canterbury.
Two people were in their 60s, two were in their 70s, three were in their 80s and four were over 90.
That takes the total number of publicly reported deaths with Covid-19 to 1472 and the seven-day rolling average of reported deaths is 13.
The new community cases being reported today were in Northland (109), Auckland (1,796), Waikato (298), Bay of Plenty (189), Lakes (69), Hawke's Bay (190), MidCentral (144), Whanganui (72), Taranaki (150), Tairāwhiti (43), Wairarapa (52), Capital and Coast (537), Hutt Valley (224), Nelson Marlborough (192), Canterbury (934), South Canterbury (79), Southern (434), West Coast (35) and the location of two was unknown.
The ministry said an error in yesterday's reporting meant Counties Manukau and Waitematā case numbers were not added to the Auckland new cases total.
"New cases for Counties Manukau yesterday were 386 and 657 for Waitematā. This meant the total new cases for Auckland yesterday was 1452 not 409."
That brings the seven-day rolling average of community case numbers today is 5132 - last Monday it was 4939.
There were also 96 new cases at the border.
From tomorrow a second Covid-19 booster will be available, six months after the first one, to anyone aged over 50 and health, aged-care and disability-care workers over the age of 30.
Covid-19 Response Minister Ayesha Verrall has said schools did not stand out in the data as showing high transmission of Covid-19.
The government is unlikely to introduce stricter Covid-19 measures, such as compulsory face masks in schools or a change in the Covid-19 setting.
