Police are warning Aucklanders not to get too complacent as the city comes closer to leaving Alert Level 3 restrictions but we must not get complacent this weekend.
Auckland is set to come out of alert level 3 at 11.59pm on Sunday evening.
In a statement, Assistant Commissioner Richard Chambers said the "vast majority" of the community had been adhering to the restrictions and Aucklanders needed to keep it up.
"We know it's tempting to head out on the weekends but every day counts to help control the spread of the virus.
"Police will be out showing high visibility within our communities and continuing to carry out reassurance patrols at places such as supermarkets, pharmacies and beaches."
He said police will continue to operate 13 checkpoints across north and south Auckland.
As of 4pm yesterday, 247,024 vehicles have been processed at the checkpoints, and 10,230 vehicles had been turned around.
Earlier, Finance Minster Grant Robertson thanked Aucklanders for their commitment.
"As a result of your actions, New Zealand remains in a comparatively positive position to other countries who have experienced second-wave outbreaks, with a small number of daily cases, no additional cases and no spread of the virus beyond the cluster, so thank you.
"We are nearly there, but the job is not quite done."
