Aucklanders are waking up to life out of lockdown after the city moved out of Alert Level 3 at midnight.
It isn't completely joining the rest of the country in Alert Level 2 - instead moving to what Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is calling Level 2.5.
There are still restrictions on social gatherings, and Aucklanders are being encouraged to keep wearing masks when they're out and about.
