EARLIER:

Director-General of Health Dr Ashley Bloomfield will be updating New Zealand on COVID-19 cases in New Zealand at 1pm.

For the past couple of weeks, these daily updates have included a single digit number of cases.

This has prompted the Government to move New Zealand out of Alert Level 4 and into Alert Level 3.

For some people not a lot has changed. Many people are still working from home, sticking to exercising in their area and only travelling when required.

For others, the change in alert level has opened up a whole array of opportunities.

People are now able to return to work, if they can't work from home, restaurants have been able to open with delivery or contactless collection options and other business have moved to online orders.
