Health New Zealand COVID-19 Cases Dashboard Description An interface screenshot shows the Health New Zealand COVID-19 reporting dashboard displayed via Microsoft Power BI. The main title reads "COVID-19 reporting dashboard" next to the date reference "As at Sunday, May 03, 2026". The organization logo for "Health New Zealand / Te Whatu Ora" sits at the top right, above a banner reading "COVID-19 REPORTING". A navigation sidebar titled "CONTENTS" contains five vertical teal boxes linking to Age, Ethnicity, District, Deprivation, and Definitions. Three purple cards show numerical data for the selected "Cases" report type: a Reported Total of "2.7M" since January 1, 2020; "679" Reported Last 30 Days from April 4, 2026, to May 3, 2026; and "74" Reported Last 7 Days from April 27, 2026, to May 3, 2026. Under the title "OVERALL COUNTS", a dropdown menu shows "Cases" is selected, and a line graph displays the 7-day rolling average from 2020 to 2026. The teal line shows a massive peak of nearly 25,000 counts in early 2022, a secondary lower peak in late 2022, a third minor wave in early 2023, and a steady decline near zero through 2024–2026. The Y-axis scales from 0 to 30,000, and the X-axis features a timeline slider from 2020 to 2026. The bottom status bar features page controls reading "1 of 6", a zoom slider at 62%, and Microsoft Power BI branding.
