Ardern said Cabinet met via Zoom today to review Auckland’s alert level. The Auckland cluster was New Zealand’s biggest but all signs pointed to it being under control, she said. There had been no new cases in the cluster for 10 days, and only one case in the last two weeks. REUTERS

Masks are not required on public transport in alert level 1 but Ardern urged people to keep being vigilant – by washing hands, staying home if sick, scanning QR codes and getting tested if even feeling slightly sick.
