Two-thirds of New Zealand's Covid-19 cases so far are in older people but the patterns are still too "idiosyncratic" to draw any strong predictions from, a researcher modelling the virus says.
New Zealand has 155 confirmed cases of the coronavirus and the Ministry of Health has released age, gender and location details for 142 of them.
Like many countries overseas, many of New Zealand's coronavirus patients are older people, with 94 of the confirmed cases in people aged 40 and older.
RNZ reporter Kate Newton has been looking at the details of the cases confirmed so far.
