Covid-19 Update : Auckland joins rest of New Zealand at Covid-19 alert level 1

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

Hi Neighbours,

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has announced Auckland will join the rest of New Zealand at Covid-19 alert level 1 from midday Friday.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Update from Auckand Reporters at Stuff:

Auckland is moving to alert level 1 at midday.

* The Blues can host Highlanders with Eden Park crowd, and fans can attend America's Cup.

* Cabinet made the decision on Thursday, but delayed the announcement.

* The delayed decision is a 'logistical nightmare', Auckland restaurant owner says
* There were no new community cases to report yesterday.

* On Wednesday, the Government unveiled a detailed timeline for when people will get the Covid-19 vaccine.

Due to the shift down, Sunday's Super Rugby Aotearoa game between the Blues and Highlanders can go ahead with a crowd.

Crowds can also attend racing at the America’s Cup and Team New Zealand's defence of the cup continues against Luna Rossa from Friday afternoon.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

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!
