New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern put the country under national lockdown after authorities detected a single case of the CCP virus, likely the Delta variant, in the city of Auckland.
The entire nation will go into “alert level 4” for at least three days, starting from 11:59 p.m. on Aug. 17, the ministry of health announced. The regions of Auckland, the country’s largest city, and Coromandel will be under strict rules for seven days.
