Well fuck. After 102 days without community transmission, four Covid cases in a South Auckland family. Jacinda and Ashley (Director General of Health) broadcast a press conference at 9:15pm.

Auckland goes back to level 3 lockdown for 72 hours while the source is identified. Essential services only to open (supermarkets, pharmacies, has stations), schools open only for children of essential workers, no travel in or out of Auckland unless you are going home or coming home.

Rest of the country into level 2 lockdown for the same period. Gatherings restricted, masks and distancing return.

Friday afternoon or evening we should learn the next move.
