Ardern said at every point along the way the Government's decision was based on health and economic advice, and NZ was in the fortunate position that those were linked. Lifting level 4 restrictions late on Monday - a public holiday to mark Anzac Day which this year falls on a Saturday - was also recommended by Bloomfield. Any businesses needing to prepare to move into level 3 could be accessed, Ardern said, as could schools, to prepare for the return of pupils. April 28 will be a teachers' only day and April 29 will be the first day of term. On businesses accessing their premises, it wasn't an invitation to open or trade, she said - just to prepare. Ardern's message to the hospitality sector - which is losing another weekend of businesss - was that it is in their interest to get back to normal life as soon as possible, and the extra week of level 4 lockdown would help NZ achieve that. Testing will continue this week to ensure all demographics in the community were reached, Ardern said. Alert level 3 still has many restrictions and does not allow more social activity, though allows more commerce to re-open. Cabinet would decide on May 11 whether to move out of alert level 3.

The holy fasting month of Ramadan begins later this week. During the month, believers usually break their fast with families and friends and perform an evening prayer, known as Taraweeh, in large gatherings at mosques. "Muslims shall avoid gatherings, because they are the main cause of the spread of infection...and shall remember that preserving the lives of people is a great act that brings them closer to God," it said in a statement on Sunday (local time). The kingdom's Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdulaziz Al al-Sheikh on Friday expressed the same sentiment, saying that Muslim prayers during Ramadan and for the subsequent Eid al-Fitr feast should be performed at home if the coronavirus outbreak continues. Saudi Arabia has reported 8274 cases of COVID-19, the respiratory disease caused by the new coronavirus, and 92 deaths so far, the highest among the six Gulf Arab states where the total has reached 24,374 with 156 deaths. The Saudi government in mid-March stopped people performing their five daily prayers and the weekly Friday prayer inside mosques as part of efforts to limit the spread of the coronavirus. Last week, the Prophet's Mosque in the holy city of Medina said it was banning events that dispense evening meals in the mosque to those in need during Ramadan to break their daily fast.
