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.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
