We've been at alert level 2 in Wellington for the past week out of an abundance of caution given the large number of highly populated places a recent case visited while potentially infectious with the Delta variant of COVID-19. Given there have been no cases of COVID-19 detected, nearly 2,500 negative results from potential contacts of the case—including repeat negative results from that person's close contacts—Cabinet has decided to shift Wellington to alert level 1 from 11.59 p.m. tonight. We are confident that the risk of community transmission from that case is low, but I ask all New Zealanders to remain vigilant and stay on high alert until a full 14 days have passed since that Sydney case left New Zealand. Testing centres will remain open in Wellington central, Porirua, Kāpiti coast, Hutt Valley, and the Wairarapa. People who haven't checked locations of interest should do so, and get a test if they have been to any of those locations within the specified time period; or if they have cold and flu symptoms, any aches or pains, they should stay home, they should call Healthline or their GP, and they should arrange to get a test.
