"New Zealand is co-sponsoring a resolution on Covid-19, the purpose of the resolution is to agree, at a high level, the future areas of work to be undertaken on Covid-19 by member states and the World Health Organisation and other organisations," Dr Bloomfield said.

Nearly 800,000 students headed back to school today for the first time in eight weeks, many more parents are also able to return to their offices.

Since the country stepped into level 2 on Thursday, retailers have been able to reopen under a number of guidelines, but the transition wasn't as smooth as some businesses would have liked.

In Dunedin, police broke up several parties in the city's student quarter which were flouting level 2 rules on Saturday night. On the same night two males were seen lighting a couch on fire in the middle of Leith St.

The incidents came a day after the University of Otago praised students for their behaviour during the lockdown.

During the level 3 and 4 lockdown, police arrested more than 90 people and nearly 50 firearms were seized in a crackdown on organised crime.
