'For this outbreak, it’s clear that long periods of heavy restrictions has not got us to zero cases,” New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern said.

WELLINGTON, New Zealand — New Zealand's government acknowledged Monday what most other countries did long ago: It can no longer completely get rid of the coronavirus.

Until recently, that elimination strategy had worked remarkably well for the country of 5 million, which has reported just 27 virus deaths. Despite New Zealand going into the strictest form of lockdown after just a single local case was detected, it ultimately wasn't enough to crush the outbreak entirely.

Ardern said that seven weeks of lockdown restrictions in Auckland had helped keep the outbreak under control. Under Ardern's plan that starts Tuesday, Aucklanders will be able to meet outdoors with loved ones from one other household, early childhood centers will reopen and people will be able to go to the beach.
