National lockdown continues until at least 11.59pm on Tuesday
Alert level 4 will be extended for the entire country until 11.59pm on Tuesday, August 24.
There are 11 new cases of Covid-19 on Friday, bringing the cluster to 31.
Eight of the cases are in Auckland and three are in Wellington.
Meanwhile in Christchurch, hundreds have queued for Covid-19 vaccines and tests, while the city centre remains eerily quiet (as it should during lockdown).
Visual journalist Stacy Squires took some photos of the city in a way it's not normally seen.

Luckily self-checkout is pretty common in supermarkets these days and we generally use it to quickly buy a few things without the long lines. But perhaps it's appropriate to head there with your full trolley to skip the lines?
What are your thoughts? Is that rude?
