New Zealand will move to a Level 4 lockdown after a community case was detected in Auckland.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern was joined by Ashley Bloomfield at a press conference, where she confirmed that Auckland and Coromandel would move to Alert Level 4 from 11.59pm for seven days, while the rest of the country will be under Level 4 conditions for three days.
It is unknown whether this case is that of the Delta variant. Bloomfield stated that genome sequencing will be completed by tomorrow morning.
There is currently 23 locations of interest, 10 in Auckland and 13 in Coromandel. Current locations of interest can be found here.
The case has no links to the border and interviews are currently being undertaken with the case to find any possible locations of interest and how they came to be in contact with Covid-19.
Here's what you need to know:
- A refresh on Level restrictions and what it means for you.

I was driving towards Lynnmall and a car came parallel to me and throw a live firecracker with heavy smoke and sparkle in my car. It was so much smoke in my car I couldn’t see anything. I immediately pulled over toward median line. Drivers on the right side were honking horn on me without knowing the reason I was so scared. What is happening to NZ safety

For now until the end of the year, the focus is on offering the vaccine to all eligible New Zealanders.The vaccination process is being accelerated to ensure everyone is at least partially vaccinated as soon as possible to avoid the risk and impact of Delta variant of COVID-19.
Once all eligible New Zealanders have had the opportunity to be vaccinated, there will be a phased approach to the re-opening of the border.
Phased approach
===============
From the first quarter of 2022, the country will look to move to new risk-based settings as soon as it’s safe. A self-isolation pilot for businesses that need to send staff overseas is planned in the second half of this year, and there are plans to develop new testing and vaccination checking systems at the border.
==========================
There will be new low, medium and high risk pathways when border and health systems are ready.
==========================
1. Low risk: Quarantine free entry for vaccinated travellers who have been in low risk countries.
2. Medium risk: Modified isolation for vaccinated travellers who have visited medium risk countries.
3. High risk: Full 14 days in MIQ and testing for unvaccinated travellers from medium risk countries and all travellers who have been in very high risk or high risk countries.
Testing regimes will remain across all three pathways. A traveller health declaration, including a vaccination certification, will be an important factor in determining the travellers' risk entry pathway on arrival.
=======================
Elimination strategy remains
========================
Sir David Skegg, Chair of the Government’s independent Public Health Advisory Group, said elimination does not necessarily mean “zero COVID-19” or eradication. Early in the pandemic, the Director-General of Health confirmed that our elimination approach focuses on zero tolerance towards new cases, rather than a goal of no new cases. "Our approach has followed this definition, which treats elimination as a process, rather than a permanent outcome," Sir David said today. Alert level restrictions, including lockdowns, will be deployed as we need to in future to quickly stamp out the virus, but greater vaccination coverage will also ultimately reduce the need to use lockdowns. If we open the borders now we will lose the freedoms and advantages we have worked so hard to achieve.
