New Zealand outbreak widens making lockdown extension likely
The Peninsula
WELLINGTON - New Zealand's COVID-19 outbreak widened beyond its largest city Auckland on Friday as new infections were discovered in the capital Wellington and case numbers jumped to 31.
The findings meant Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern will most likely extend a nationwide lockdown that she announced this week to try and curb the spread of the highly contagious Delta variant of COVID-19. Health authorities said 11 new cases were recorded on Friday, of which three cases were in Wellington.More Related News
