Posted by Stephen Bauman on Sat Sep 12 21:14:02 2020, in response to Large crowds in Auckland protesting lcokdowns (How New Zealand Got Rid of COVID-19?), posted by Olog-hai on Sat Sep 12 13:37:27 2020. Auckland has not been on lockdown since August 31st. Here's a link to the press briefing where the reduction of their "Level 3" restrictions were confirmed. The Level 3 restrictions meant that travel in/out of the Auckland area had been severely restricted. That travel restriction was removed on Aug 31st, along with the lockdown.The rest of the country had been on "Level 2" restrictions, since the 4 community Covid cases was found on Aug 11th. Here's a link to these restrictions. Auckland has been on a modified Level 2, since Aug 31st. The special restriction on Auckland concern limited number at social gatherings. About 33% of the community cases since Aug 11th have been traced to one particular church and a subsequent bereavement meeting at a non-member's home by church members. One of the bereavement party visited a school. One of the church members visited another school. Both schools had to be shut down and disinfected. The first church member received his coronavirus dose on a public bus. New Zealand has identified two people who became infected on that bus. New Zealand had not previously used masks. The documented transmission on a public bus resulted in the new restriction that all people on buses and other forms of public transport wear masks. New Zealand was planning to evaluate whether to reduce the restrictions tomorrow (Sep 14th in NZ). Any reduction would take place on Sep 16th. Border restrictions still remain in force. Only citizens can return and they must stay in quarantine for 14 Covid-free days. |
