Covid-19 modeller nervous about Auckland moving alert levels

From First Up, 5:23 am on 3 September 2020

Covid-19 modeller Shaun Hendy admits he's nervous about Auckland moving down alert levels. The government will meet tomorrow to decide whether the current alert levels will change at 11.59pm on Sunday - but have already ruled out a move to level one. Instead, they'll decide whether Auckland should join the rest of the country at alert level two or remain at the elevated 2.5 - meaning social gatherings are limited to ten people. Auckland University's Shaun Hendy told Nita Blake Persen he'd rather stay where we are for longer.
