In New Zealand, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said the country would slowly start to reopen after strict lockdown measures had helped eliminate community spread of the disease. Only one new case was reported Monday. Overall, over 1,100 cases and 19 deaths have been confirmed in New Zealand.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern: “To succeed, we must hunt down the last few cases of the virus. This is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and we need your help to finish the job we have started. There is no widespread, undetected community transmission in New Zealand. We have won that battle. But we must remain vigilant if we’re to keep it that way.”
