New Covid-19 cases decline for second consecutive day
There are 49 new cases Covid-19 in the community with 33 in hospital, six in ICU and two on ventilators.
Six active cases are babies under one.
Director general of health Ashley Bloomfield said cases will continue to decline and we are seeing chains of transmission breaking.
Auckland will remain at alert level 4 for at least another two weeks, while everywhere south of it will move to alert level 3 on Tuesday night.
Northland moves to alert level 3 on Thursday evening.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said moving to alert level 3 was “progress” but still requires a great level of caution.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
