Auckland may not make it out of lockdown next week

The rest of the country's moving to Delta Level 2 at midnight.
Professor Michael Baker from Otago University says he isn't absolutely certain Auckland will leave Level 4 next week.
He says while Covid-19 case numbers are dropping, it's the mystery cases that are concerning.
One of them is the man who was admitted to Middlemore Hospital at the weekend, then tested positive for the virus.
However, Baker says things are looking very optimistic the variant might be eventually eliminated from Auckland.
