The Central App was opened 14,000 times over the last week, with the news section receiving over 10,000 individual clicks in seven days. 

The most read story was Five Jobs available in Central this week (link to story), with readers looking for opportunities and career changes. 

Covid updates again ranked high, with the second most read story being the daily update of confirmed Covid-19 cases. 

Covid cases have continued at a steady pace inside of the Auckland’s Alert Level 4 zone, with three cases confirmed today outside of Auckland for the first time in almost two weeks. 

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is set to announce any changes to alert level status this afternoon. 

In third place was last week’s weather forecast, which consistently makes the top three read stories each week, proving once again that Central Otago residents are obsessed with the weather.
