New Zealanders are being encouraged to keep good Covid-19 habits when the whole country's at Level 1

Cabinet will meet today to decide whether Auckland moves down from Level 2 to join the rest of the country.

Researchers at Auckland University have been modelling the virus and director Shaun Hendy thinks Auckland's in a good position to move out of Level 2.

But he says life shouldn't be like New Zealand's first round of Level 1 - because we were too vulnerable.

He says we should still expect to see the odd case break through the border in coming months.

Hendy suggests Covid-19 testing rates remain high and compulsory mask-wearing on public transport remains at Level 1.
