New Zealand has gone 15 days without a new case of Covid-19 in the community.
On Wednesday, the Health Ministry said all the patients from the recent Auckland outbreak had recovered and there were no active cases left in the community.
The August Auckland cluster will be officially closed when there are no new cases for two incubation periods, 28 days, since all cases completed isolation.

The Health Ministry is asking anyone with tickets to the All Blacks vs Australia game in Wellington to feel bad to stay home.
With the country at Level 1 and no restrictions on the size of meetings, the ministry continues to recommend keeping a safe distance from people you don’t know while you’re away from home.
“Consider wearing a mask or face covering when physical distancing is difficult.”
Those going to the game on public transport will be asked to use the Covid Tracer app to check in for buses and trains or to keep track of times and route.
Attendees are also asked to check in at the stadium, write down their seat number and practice good hygiene.
There are now more than two million users of the app and, as of Saturday, there have been a total of 88,585,463 poster scans.
