    New Zealand's Covid-19 case numbers are tracking in the right direction

    New Zealand's Covid-19 case numbers are tracking in the right direction


    Cabinet will decide today whether to move New Zealand down alert levels.

    Auckland might drop down from Level 2.5, while the rest of the country goes to Level One.

    Otago University epidemiologist Michael Baker says Auckland's doing well controlling its cluster.

    He says the rest of the country hasn't had a new case in a long time - except for this case which has just came through managed isolation in Christchurch.
