Caroline Williams Reporter from Auckland Stuff

The State of Emergency was given for 7 days and could be renewed, if necessary, for a further week after the first week was ending. This has occurred and could be extended, if needed, after this second 7 days comes close to ending.
Lockdown is what we are all doing by staying at home to stop Covid 19 from spreading, and was put in place by the Government for 4 weeks. This may also be extended if the virus is still spreading in communities.
