New Zealand reported 24 new locally acquired COVID-19 cases on Sunday (Sep 19), up from 20 on Saturday, showing an upturn after several days of lower numbers, as the country's largest city Auckland awaits to hear if

All of the new cases have been reported in greater Auckland, a city of about 1.7 million people which has been in a full level four lockdown since mid-August.

The government of Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is to announce on Monday whether the alert levels for Auckland and rest of the country will be changed. Until the weekend, New Zealand was on a path to eliminate the latest outbreak, which began in mid-August and has infected 1,050 people with the highly transmissible Delta variant of the coronavirus.Director of Public Health Caroline McElnay said that health officials are"still cautiously optimistic" that the vast bulk of the latest outbreak was under control.

New Zealand had been largely virus-free for months until the latest outbreak. It has had just over 3,700 confirmed infections since the start of the pandemic and 27 deaths.

Clear case for some relaxation especially for the younger whose mental health is just as important. Numbers here very small & even nil for those unvaccinated 30. But, many are not know & unrealised how severe is the condition those hosptl'd (though not sent to ICU), if in fact Covid sickness is not severe, why those ppl still need to be hosptl'd? One needs to realize that.
