WELLINGTON: New Zealand extended a strict lockdown in its largest city on Monday , requiring 1.7 million people living in Auckland to remain indoors for at least another week to snuff out small outbreaks of the highly infectious Delta variant of the coronavirus.
"It's clear there is no widespread transmission of the virus in Auckland, but so long as we have new cases emerging, there are risks," Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern told a news conference, announcing the decision to prolong the city's lockdown until Sep 21. New Zealand had been largely virus-free for months until an outbreak of the Delta variant imported from Australia prompted Ardern to order a snap nationwide lockdown on Aug 17.The city is virtually cut off from the rest of the country, where the lockdown was lowered last week to Level 2, enabling people go back to their offices and schools.
