New Zealand's cabinet will meet on Monday to decide the future of the country's tough but effective lockdown - though Kiwis have been told not to visit their mums this Mother's Day.
Next week, Ardern's government will plot a path back to something close to normality, meeting to decide a timetable for the removal of social and business restrictions. The prime minister has already released what level two restrictions will look like, including the re-opening of restaurants, hairdressers, gyms, cinemas and public facilities like museums and libraries.
Social restrictions could end immediately, with provisions for schools, business and personal movement more likely to be phased in.
Any decision will come too late for Kiwi mums to enjoy visits from sons and daughters not already in their household bubbles. Ardern has banned socialising outside of existing households, with few exceptions, and told Kiwis this week to stick to the plan" ahead of Monday's review.
