COVID-19: Auckland lockdown extended for 2 weeks

Jacinda Ardern Prime Minister of New Zealand has just announced the 2-week extension of the lockdown period covering Auckland. For the rest of the country, the lockdown ends tomorrow (Tuesday 31 August).

The good news is that areas in the south of Auckland get to downgrade to Level 3 restrictions, which allows marginally more freedoms than the current Level 4 restrictions.

This will test the patience of New Zealanders and the elimination strategy of the government.

Let’s hope that they can beat the virus again.
