By the end of Wednesday, Aucklanders may be freed from the alert level 3 lockdown or required to continue life under the strict measures as officials grapple with the COVID-19 situation.

Cabinet will meet in the afternoon to consider the latest data, including the results of outstanding close contact tests. These will signal if there has been any onward transmission from the three infected cases, while wider community testing should reveal any undetected parallel transmission.
