Hon CHRIS HIPKINS (Minister for COVID-19 Response): I'd like to begin today with a few shout-outs, and the first, of course, is to the people in Auckland. While the rest of New Zealand woke up this morning to alert level 2, Auckland, of course, remains at alert level 4. I want to acknowledge that through our response to COVID-19, Aucklanders have done an awful lot of the heavy lifting. Auckland, and South Auckland in particular, are, of course, the gateway to New Zealand for most international arrivals, and in the good times that is good for Auckland and they do well out of that. But with regard to COVID-19, it has meant that they are at the front line of our COVID-19 response, and they've shouldered a disproportionate burden of the restrictions that have been put in place.
