New Zealand authorities reported 62 new locally transmitted Covid-19 cases Wednesday — the highest number in a single day since last year as the country wrestles with a growing outbreak.
Last week New Zealand confirmed its first community Covid-19 cases since February, prompting Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern to announce the whole country would enter into a strict lockdown.In just over a week, that single case has grown to a cluster of 210, with 198 cases in the country's most populous city, Auckland, Director-General of Health Dr. Ashley Bloomfield said Wednesday.
Although New Zealand's cases are increasing, Bloomfield said the lockdown meant infections were growing steadily, not exponentially. New Zealand is under level 4 lockdown -- its strictest measure -- meaning people can only leave the house to shop for groceries, access necessary healthcare, get a Covid-19 vaccination or test, exercise in their local area, or go to work if they are an essential worker.
