Rt Hon JACINDA ARDERN: As I've said time and time again, lockdowns have been used because we haven't had other tools available including, for instance, as has been noted by almost every country that has used lockdowns—and they've been a strategy around the world until we had the ability to treat COVID or indeed vaccinate against COVID. We now have vaccinations available and we are working incredibly hard to ensure that everyone who is eligible is vaccinated. Fantastic to see how close Auckland is to reaching 80 percent of eligible Aucklanders having received their first dose. We have the capability to, within another two weeks beyond that, reach 90 percent, but it is incumbent upon all of us to work with all of our communities to ensure that people who may have concerns have those concerns addressed and are vaccinated, because it is the best way to remove the need to use those harshest public health restrictions.
