China News Service, April 28, according to foreign media reports, New Zealand has officially entered the national level 3 alert state since 28th, and the authorities will relax relevant restrictions. New Zealanders can't hold back to the streets in the early morning to buy fast food, and Parliament will resume the meeting that afternoon.
New Zealand Prime Minister Ardern previously announced that the national alert level will be lowered from level 1 to level 3 on the 28th, and some strict mobility restrictions that led to the closure of the company for several weeks have been relaxed, and about 400,000 people will return to work.
New Zealanders “liberated” from the month-long “confinement” lined up to buy burgers, chips and coffee takeaways.
"It's hard to explain how good this taste is," New Zealand MP Christopher Bishop wrote after posting a photo of a takeaway coffee cup on personal social media.

In the early morning of the 28th, there were long queues in front of McDonald's stores in Auckland and Wellington, and people were rushing to buy fast food.
In addition, the New Zealand Parliament also restarted on the 28th, and is expected to have several speeches and question time.
The report said that Congress was adjourned during the entire Level 4 alert period, and its functions were replaced by the Epidemiological Response Select Committee to some extent, but the Select Committee could not pass laws or conduct important debates like Congress itself.
It is reported that during the Congress meeting, MPs will keep their distance. The number of members in the debate room will be much smaller than in the past, and they will sit farther away. The reporter ’s questioning session before lawmakers enter the conference room will be cancelled and replaced by a pre-planned press conference.
New Zealand Prime Minister Ardern said that despite entering a level 3 alert state, New Zealand has not been out of danger, and everyone must still strictly abide by the regulations, and the epidemic may "resurrect" at any time.
