WELLINGTON - New Zealand's government on Tuesday reported that new COVID-19 cases fell for a second day, down to 49, amid the tight lockdown the country undertook during the latest outbreak this month.
The declining number of daily cases signals that the social restrictions are reducing the spread of the highly infectious Delta variant, Ardern said in a news conference. Police placed checkpoints at the outskirts of Auckland to ensure no non-essential movement was allowed into the city. Ardern's lockdowns, along with closing the international border from March 2020, were credited with reining in COVID-19.
