Forty-nine new cases of COVID-19 have been reported on Tuesday, yet another drop from the figures seen over the preceding days.
The outbreak now consists of 612 cases, the vast majority of which are in Auckland. Just 15 have been detected in Wellington, and the rest of the nation so far remains untouched by the virus.
During a post-Cabinet press conference on Monday, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced that Auckland will remain in lockdown for a futher two weeks, while the rest of New Zealand shifts to alert level 3 at 11:59pm tonight. Northland will follow suit on Thursday if wastewater samples show no traces of COVID-19.
On Tuesday morning, Ardern said the Government is doing everything it can to keep up with the surging demand for vaccinations. A delivery of Pfizer vaccines is set to arrive in October, but until then, supply will be "tight", she said - however, it's understood a potential deal is in the works to procure additional doses.
