Covid-19 Update : Auckland joins rest of New Zealand at Covid-19 alert level 1
Hi Neighbours,
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has announced Auckland will join the rest of New Zealand at Covid-19 alert level 1 from midday Friday.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Update from Auckand Reporters at Stuff:
Auckland is moving to alert level 1 at midday.
* The Blues can host Highlanders with Eden Park crowd, and fans can attend America's Cup.
* Cabinet made the decision on Thursday, but delayed the announcement.
* The delayed decision is a 'logistical nightmare', Auckland restaurant owner says
* There were no new community cases to report yesterday.
* On Wednesday, the Government unveiled a detailed timeline for when people will get the Covid-19 vaccine.
Due to the shift down, Sunday's Super Rugby Aotearoa game between the Blues and Highlanders can go ahead with a crowd.
Crowds can also attend racing at the America’s Cup and Team New Zealand's defence of the cup continues against Luna Rossa from Friday afternoon.
