Unite against COVID-19, Facebook post, New Zealand to move to Alert Level 4

Descriptive Data

Record Identifier177Date Range17 August 2021DescriptionOn Tuesday 17 August 2021, the Government announced that New Zealand would be moving to Alert Level 4.
The post was as follows:
From 11.59pm Tuesday 17 August, all of New Zealand will move to Alert Level 4.
This measure will remain in place for 3 days until 11.59pm 20 August for all of New Zealand, with the exception of Auckland and the Coromandel Peninsula with both staying in Level 4 likely for the next 7 days.
This is a response to a community outbreak in Auckland which is currently under investigation and possibly linked to the Delta variant.
International evidence and science around the Delta variant shows that it is twice as infectious and more liable to cause severe illness.
The decision to change Alert Levels reinforces the need to take swift and robust action around the latest case to detect and stamp out the possibility of any further transmission.
