Remarks by NZ prime minister, Jacinda Ardern
- Don't believe peak of outbreak has been reached yet
- Auckland lockdown extended until midnight 31 August
- With delta, more certainty is needed
That is when they will review the settings and the situation again before deciding if a further extension will be needed, again. In case you missed it, New Zealand reported another 35 new COVID-19 cases in the past day here.
Ardern also confirms that parliament is temporarily suspended for a week.
