New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern on Monday said nationwide coronavirus curbs would be lifted, bar in the biggest city of Auckland, as the country gets on top of an outbreak of the Delta variant.

New Zealand had been largely virus-free, excluding a small cluster of cases in February, until an infected traveler from Australia seeded an outbreak that prompted Ardern to impose the national lockdown last week.

About 1.7 million people in greater Auckland, the epicenter of the outbreak, will remain in a full level 4 lockdown until at least Sept. 14. Face masks will still be required inside most public venues, including shops and malls. Indoor hospitality venues will be limited to 50 patrons and outdoor venues to 100 people.The current outbreak is responsible for 821 of the country's total of about 3,400 COVID-19 cases since the start of the pandemic. It has reported 27 deaths.

Of course. Judges and liberals and socialists don't believe in punishment nor that evil exists. They believe people are inherently good and, despite committing the heinous of crimes, can always be rehabilitated. Their naivety continues to cosmic repercussions to society. Weak justice system, like most Democracies. The rights of the individual is more important then the safety of the people. The multitues have been conditioned by the narrative of the civil libertarians and pathetically weak willed politicians.
