New Zealand reported a further fall in locally acquired COVID-19 cases on Wednesday, as the largely coronavirus-free nation looks to eradicate an outbreak of the highly infectious Delta variant.

New Zealand reported 15 new locally acquired cases of COVID-19, down from 21 a day earlier, on the first day of an easing of tough restrictions in all regions outside its largest city Auckland.Officials earlier this week said schools, offices and businesses can reopen outside Auckland from Wednesday after near zero cases in the rest of the country, but there will be a cap on gatherings and masks will remain mandatory in public venues.

New Zealand had been largely virus-free, excluding a small cluster of cases in February, until an infected traveller from Australia seeded an outbreak, forcing officials to impose a national lockdown last month. About 1.7 million people in Auckland, the epicentre of the outbreak, will be in hard lockdown until at least Sept. 14.Sign up for our newsletter

Biden to lay out new strategy against delta variant of COVID-19President Joe Biden will lay out a new effort to combat the delta variant of COVID-19 on Thursday, the White House said Tuesday. The contagious variant that we don’t even test for, we just assume most have it. 😂 How about stopping all Federal money to those states whose Governor won't do anything. Like FL, TX and IN Let's make a kit full of Lysol and disinfectants and send a kit to all the families and we can load up squirt guns with 70% isopropyl alcohol and squirt Covid19 in the head!

Offer better wages and people will come back. Most people have returned to work, just not to crappy jobs with crappy pay 'Their' workers? They don't have any ownership over the people who worked for them in the past. A former restaurant employee is no more 'their worker' than any random person on the street. “Restaurants continue to low ball hourly wages, fail to provide safe, equitable work environments & workers are refusing the offers.” There, fixed it for you.
