The lockdown in New Zealand’s largest city will last at least until next Sunday. Two weeks ago, the city already had a three-day lockdown. According to Prime Minister Ardern, the new lockdown is necessary because of a new contagion unrelated to other positive cases in recent weeks.
Cause for concern
Ardern said there is “cause for concern” because the last case identified involves a person who had been contagious for a week but had not gone into quarantine. He visited a doctor on Friday and then went to a gym.
The city’s approximately 1.7 million residents have to stay at home and only go out for essential groceries or work.
