The authorities that administer the city of 1.7 million inhabitants announced Thursday the return to normality.
The news was officially confirmed by the repeal of the two decrees that imposed the isolation of the population at home in a pandemic.
Thus, the efforts of the citizens of Auckland were rewarded with the news of the overcoming of the Covid-19 outbreak, detected in mid-August.
Lower alert level
In addition, the city was placed at midnight Wednesday at alert level 1, the lowest on a scale of 4 in the coronavirus pandemic.
The same is the case in the rest of the country where people have fully regained their freedom of movement and movement.
After a week of numerous population restrictions, local authorities said Monday that the outbreak in Auckland had been brought under control.
No local infections related to this outbreak, the epicenter of the second wave of Covid-19, were detected.
The obligation of physical distance falls
Those living in Auckland or passing through are no longer required to maintain physical restraint measures.
Likewise, meetings of people can be held within the limits imposed, among other measures, according to Agerpres, which took over EFE.
“There are a lot of people out there: students are going back to universities and libraries, and the world is in Albert Park,” an Auckland librarian tweeted.
“How many students will come to class today on this first day back to normal?” She and college professor Kathryn Jones wondered.
The call for caution has not been forgotten
Even in the context of this return to normalcy, New Zealand’s Chief Health Officer Ashley Bloomfield has warned the public.
Therefore, citizens were urged to be careful even if local authorities reduced the alert level to 1.
As of Wednesday, New Zealand has no more locally infected patients and only 39 active cases.
Of these, 3 were announced on Thursday and were classified as imported cases, that is, of people who have recently traveled abroad.
New Zealand has recorded 1,508 Covid-19 cases and 25 deaths since the start of the pandemic.
