New Zealand Covid update: Auckland to move out of level 4 lockdown as 22 cases reported

Restrictions will be eased from midnight on Tuesday with more businesses allowed to provide click-and-collect services, PM says

After nearly five weeks in lockdown Auckland will move out of the highest setting, New Zealand's prime minister, Jacinda Ardern, has said, adding she was confident there was no undetected transmission of the Delta variant in the community.

New Zealand recorded 22 new cases of coronavirus in the community - including three cases outside Auckland - on Monday which some had feared could put the brakes on the easing of restrictions.
