New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has announced a 12-day extension of the country’s Covid-19 restrictions, after a cluster of cases grew to 29. As stated by BBC.com (14/8) there are four “alert levels” in New Zealand, and Auckland has been on Level 3 since Wednesday. PM Ardern said the rest of the country is on Level 2 and both would be extended. New Zealand has had success containing coronavirus and went 102 days without a community transmission. The origin of the cluster in Auckland - New Zealand's largest city with a population of 1.5 million - is still being investigated. The PM said the decision to extend the restrictions was in keeping with the cautionary approach and New Zealand's philosophy of going hard and going early//BBC
