New mask rules are coming into play in New Zealand as the country grapples with a coronavirus outbreak. If you break the rules, you break the law - and police have already started cracking down, as Political Editor Tova O'Brien reports.

 

 

All of New Zealand is at Alert Level 4 from 11:59pm on Tuesday 17 August 2021. All New Zealanders should stay home to save lives.

"One coronavirus case. That's all it took to send New Zealand into a three-day, nationwide lockdown late Tuesday as the country's six-month streak without local transmission came to an end."

 

That's how Washington Post's correspondent Michael E. Miller opened his story as news broke last night New Zealand was heading into a level 4 lockdown.

Covid-19: NZ would move to alert level 4 within hours of detecting delta variant in community - Prime Minister

From Morning Report, 8:14 am on 12 August 2021

 

Just one Covid-19 community case of the Delta variant will send New Zealand into lockdown.

 

That's the warning from the government, after a fresh report on reopening the borders cautioned an outbreak this year is likely, similar to what's happening in New South Wales.

 

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern told Morning Report the government's emergency response would be to move into Level 4 restrictions within hours of a community case being detected.
