Live: Auckland shifts to alert level 2, rest of country returns to level 1
Hi Auckland neighbours,
Great news! Auckland is now in alert level 2.
The rest of the country has shifted to alert level 1.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
Georgia Forrester
There are three community cases, two siblings who are students at Papatoetoe High School, and their household contact.
There was also one new case in MIQ on Wednesday.
Schools in Auckland can reopen. But Papatoetoe High School will remain closed for the rest of the week.
Teachers and students from that school must return a negative test before returning next week.
Covid-19 alert level 3 took effect in Auckland at 11.59pm on Sunday
The Government is making it easier for businesses to get one of its support measures - if current alert levels are extended.
People identified as contacts or who were at the locations of interest are being asked to get tested.
