The Ministry of Health's last update was on Friday, and today's statement says that all three new cases are in MIQ in Auckland.
One came from the United Kingdom via United Arab Emirates on 7 July, one from Malaysia via Singapore on 8 July, and the other from Russia via United Arab Emirates on 9 July.
New Zealand's total number of confirmed Covid-19 cases is now 2411.
The total number of Covid-19 tests processed by laboratories to date is 2,351,005.
On Friday, 6458 tests were processed across New Zealand. Yesterday, 4881 tests were processed.
These figures do not include figures from Waikato District Health Board as their systems remain down as the result of a cyber attack, however once the system is restored the data will be added to the tally, the ministry said.
Viking Bay update
The All of Government response is putting a plan in place to manage the return to New Zealand of the fishing vessel the Viking Bay which has two coronavirus-positive mariners on board.
Customs will be announcing further details of the plan this afternoon.
Comprehensive health checks, including testing of crew, will be part of this plan, the ministry said.
The ship's return to New Zealand has been assessed as having a very low health risk to the public.
There were no new Covid-19 cases in the community or in managed isolation on Friday, but there was one new historical case in MIQ and a previously reported case from 28 June was reclassified as a historical case.
Covid-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins announced on Friday that New Zealanders trapped in New South Wales would be required to spend 14 days in MIQ on their return, although they would not be required to pay for their stay.
