Focus Live: PM Jacinda Ardern and Dr Ashley Bloomfield give Covid-19 updateLast week Covid-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins told us to expect an alert level 4 lockdown if any Delta cases pop up in the community. Now we have a community case in Auckland with no link to the border yet, which has triggered an emergency meeting of senior ministers. It's unknown yet if surge vaccination might be an option in Auckland to try and dampen any spread. It wasn't an option during the Delta-scare in Wellington in June because we didn't have enough vaccine supply or enough workers. It's also possible that the person is one of those Covid-duds who don't spread the virus.
