(CNN) New Zealand's government could ease coronavirus restrictions as early as next week, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced Tuesday. Adern told a press conference that New Zealand was "ahead of schedule." The country has not reported any new cases for 11 days in a row. She said that, while previous advice modeling had assumed there would be a "persistent and potentially longer tail of cases" as the country moved to "level two," risking further spread, so far a tail or spike in cases had not occurred. According to New Zealand's Ministry of Health, there is one active case of coronavirus nationwide.
