New Zealand reported its first coronavirus death in more than three months on Friday when a man in his 50s died due to the virus. Health officials said the man was part of a second-wave cluster of infections that emerged in Auckland last month, ending a spell of 102 days free of community transmission in the South Pacific nation. The death at Auckland's Middlemore Hospital on Friday afternoon takes New Zealand's death count from the virus to 23.
