Hon Dr DAVID CLARK (Minister of Health): By going early and going hard, New Zealand has managed to stop community transmission of COVID-19 and eliminate the unknown spread of the virus for now, but we are not out of the woods. As other countries have seen, the virus can bounce back and resume its spread. That means we must continue with our strict border controls and use of quarantine. We must continue to test widely for COVID-19 and trace all close contacts of any confirmed or probable cases. We must continue to use self-isolation appropriately and follow strict rules around physical distancing. We've proven we can do this together. We must remain vigilant at alert level 3.
