AKers views on illegal party, level changes

From First Up, 5:51 am on 19 October 2021

Auckland will stay in level 3 lockdown for at least two more weeks in a bid to get more people double vaccinated. Northland will shift back into Alert Level 2 tonight but Waikato will stay in Alert Level 3 until at least Friday, after 3 of the 60 new cases yesterday were from the region. Alert levels will be reviewed in a fortnight but as Ella Stewart found out, some residents of Takapuna were initially braced for the worst.. And the North Shore has been a source of controversy over recent days... videos circulating on social media show young people attended a party on Saturday night in the suburb of Redvale during lockdown. And Aucklanders told Ella while they're not happy about it, people are getting frustrated. Police announced last night they had arrested a 28-year-old man over the party and charged him with Failing to Comply with the Covid-19 Public Health Response Order. He's due to appear in court on Friday.
