New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern warned that the full extent of the current delta variant outbreak is unknown.
that the country’s lockdown—which was scheduled to end on Friday— will be extended until midnight August 24.
The decision was made after health authorities reported 11 new local Covid-19 cases on Friday, three of which were in the national capital Wellington. The three people from Wellington had recently traveled to Auckland—the epicenter of the current outbreak—and had visited locations that have now been identified as exposure sites.
As cases emerged outside Auckland Ardern warned that the full scale of New Zealand’s delta variant outbreak remains unknown. New Zealand’s health chief Ashley Bloomfield noted that the lockdown in Auckland, which has reported the majority of the new cases may be extended beyond August 24.31. That’s the total number of community cases New Zealand has reported in the outgoing outbreak which began earlier this week. This comes after nearly six months of no local Covid-19 infections in New Zealand.
