Auckland’s current Level 3 lockdown is entering a crucial couple of days with Director-General of Health Dr Ashley Bloomfield warning any new Covid cases emerging from the latest outbreak should become evident from today.
Experts say it’s still too soon to know if the current cluster has been contained or has spread beyond Auckland’s borders, with Covid-19 modeller Professor Shaun Hendy saying a longer lockdown may be necessary.
Meanwhile, the financial aspects of containing Covid’s spread are back in the spotlight, with National proposing a way to make it easier for workers to stay home while isolating.

Frederick Douglass, born Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey, is remembered as an orator, newspaper publisher, and an escaped slave.
He was born into slavery in February 1818 in Maryland. His mother lived on a different plantation, and he barely knew her as she died when he was a young child. He never knew the identity of his father. Some speculate that his father was a white man.
At the age of eight, Douglass was sent to Baltimore as a body servant. As he was not allowed to go to school, he taught himself how to read and write.
