COVID alert levels maintained
New Zealand will stay in Alert Level 2 for another 10 days at least – and Aucklanders, stick with 2.5 for now.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says stepping down the levels now would be perilous, and extra police and health staff will be out over the weekend to ensure people stick to the limits.
Cabinet today decided to review the levels on Monday, September 14, with any change decided then going into effect at 11.59pm on Wednesday, September 16.
Today there are five new cases of COVID-19 reported today – two detected in managed isolation facilities and three community cases are epidemiologically linked to the Mt Roskill Evangelical Church sub-cluster.
There are six people with COVID-19 in hospital today; one in Auckland City, one in Middlemore, two in North Shore, and two in Waikato.
