We need to be confident that we do not have COVID-19 Delta circulating undetected in the community, and we need to be confident that any cases we may have are contained and isolated. Signs are encouraging that after the hard work of all New Zealanders, we are seeing the effects of the lockdown starting to turn the tide. We are seeing a decrease in cases outside of households, a decreasing number of locations of interest, and the reproduction rate starting to reduce. That's not to say that we are out of the woods yet. We'll continue to see new cases reported from these Auckland clusters for a while yet.
