Ardern said all remaining virus restrictions will be lifted across much of the country, with the exception of the largest city, Auckland, which will continue to have some restrictions for at least another 16 days.
A cluster of cases emerged in Auckland last month, ending New Zealand's 102-day streak without any local transmission of the novel coronavirus. The outbreak prompted the government to impose a temporary lockdown in the region and reschedule national elections. Since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, New Zealand's Ministry of Health has identified 1,815 confirmed and probable COVID-19 cases as well as 25 coronavirus-related deaths. There are currently 62 active cases and three coronavirus-related hospitalizations in the country.
