A lack of community cases may not be enough, to convince cabinet ministers to end Auckland's lockdown
17 February 2021
Cabinet will make a decision on Alert Levels this afternoon.
There are currently no community cases beyond the original three -- but officials are still awaiting the results of yesterday's extensive community testing.
Covid-19 Minister Chris Hipkins says there are also other factors Cabinet needs to consider.
He says the source of the cases still hasn't been confirmed -- and it remains unclear if all close contacts have been tested and isolated.
The latest case numbers will be released at 1pm -- Cabinet will meet at 3pm -- and we should have announcement by 4.30pm today.
We'll have coverage throughout the day, here on Newstalk ZB.
