Prime Minister Arden has announced that all of New Zealand, with the exception of Auckland, has been moved from midnight Monday to the first, lowest level of danger.

“Auckland needs more time,” the prime minister said. The city has been in the second degree of danger since midnight on Monday. Thus, certain obligations still apply to the inhabitants of a New Zealand city, such as wearing a veil in public transport. The size of public gatherings is limited to 100 people.
New Zealand, with a population of around five million, has not seen a single new case of coronavirus infection in the last day. There are currently 62 infected in New Zealand. Since the beginning of the covidem epidemic-19 the island state has recorded 1815 infected and 25 dead.
Improving Australia
Neighboring Australia also reports a significant improvement, with 16 new cases of covid-19 in the last day. This is the smallest increase since mid-June. The largest number of newly infected, 11, is in the state of Victoria, where about seven million people live.
“It’s a big day for us,” said Victoria Prime Minister Daniel Andrews. If the number of new cases remains below 50 per day, the state’s government will allow warehouses, factories, buildings or kindergartens to reopen in the capital Melbourne from September 28.
The state of Victoria accounts for about 75 percent of all coronavirus infections in Australia. Since the beginning of the epidemic, Australia has recorded 27,000 cases and 851 covid-19-related deaths.
