Mayor Goff: Lockdown needed to stamp out community transmission
“New cases of COVID-19 in the community was something none of us wanted to happen,” Mayor Phil Goff said this evening. “However, we always knew there was a risk given what we have seen overseas. “We know from experience that quick action to impose restrictions is the best way to stamp out the virus. “Aucklanders have more experience than anyone else in the country in dealing with lockdowns. We know what to do to stop COVID-19 from spreading and we will do it again this time."
