Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has announced Auckland will again move to Covid alert level 3 and the rest of New Zealand will go to level 2. The new case went to the GP in the afternoon yesterday for a test - they went to the gym after that. She said this means all sports games now need to be canceled - that includes the Auckland Round the Bays. During the last week, there has been "significant" testing in south Auckland, Director-general of Health Ashley Bloomfield said. The mother has also tested positive for Covid-19.
