China News Service, August 24. According to foreign media reports, the New Zealand government has decided to extend the blockade measures in Auckland until the evening of the 30th, and mandates that people wear masks when using public transportation. The closure measures in Oakland were originally scheduled to end on the 26th.
According to reports, New Zealand Prime Minister Ardern said on the 24th that the extension of the lockdown measures for four days is to ensure that Auckland's epidemic alert level can be lowered to a level with more relaxed restrictions.
The data picture shows New Zealand under the epidemic.
Auckland entered a lockdown after a new cluster of new coronavirus infections appeared two weeks ago, and the alert level of the epidemic was raised to level 3.
In the afternoon of August 30, Auckland will enter the second level of security, all businesses, schools, etc. can be opened, but gatherings of more than 10 people are not allowed, except for funerals.
The alert level will be readjusted on September 6. Ardern said that even if the outbreak in Auckland eases, New Zealand may still maintain the secondary alert status for a period of time.
