From First Up, 5:45 am on 3 November 2021

Back to Northland's Level 3 Covid lockdown now. With the region's vaccination rates still relatively low, Iwi leaders have been calling for Te Tai Tokerau to go to level 3 for the past few weeks after a handful of cases were detected. Two new mystery cases in the Far North tipped the balance yesterday, and the government ordered another lockdown. Last night Nathan Rarere spoke with Te Tai Tokerau Border Control spokesperson Hone Harawira about the government's decision late yesterday.
