New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said there would be a three-day lockdown in Auckland, after three fresh local COVID cases were reported, as per a Reuters report.
Ardern said the level 3 restrictions, which means staying home barring essential shopping and essential work, were part of the super cautious approach New Zealand has taken in fighting and more or less getting rid of the pandemic in the nation.
For months, New Zealand has not had any local virus cases.?
Because it closed the international borders quickly, it virtually eradicated the virus in the early stage of the pandemic.??
