Wellington | New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said lockdown restrictions will be partially eased outside the largest city of Auckland amid encouraging signs that a community outbreak of COVID-19 is being brought under control.
All areas south of Auckland will move to level 3 at midnight on Tuesday, Ms Ardern told a news conference on Monday in Wellington. The Northland region in the far north may also move to level 3 later this week but Auckland, the outbreak epicentre, will remain at level 4 for another two weeks, she said.
