New Zealand transitioned into new alert levels overnight - Auckland moving to level 3 lockdown, and the rest of the country moving to level 2.
The change came after three new community cases were reported on Sunday. They are a mother, father and daughter who live in the South Auckland suburb of Papatoetoe.
