The checkpoints will come down ahead of the 6am Sunday alert level shift. ROBERT KITCHIN/STUFF PM Jacinda Ardern announced Auckland will go down one Covid-19 alert level on Sunday at 6am, while the rest of NZ will go back down to level 1. Chris McKeen/Stuff Papatoetoe locals say the mood in the suburb is quiet following news of more Covid-19 cases in the community. However, Saturday marked the sixth consecutive day with no community cases, despite officials earlier warning any new positive cases would likely crop up from Wednesday. The ministry said it was “encouraging” to have another day without any community cases, but “we must all remain vigilant”.
