All of New Zealand will enter an alert level 4 lockdown from 11:59pm tonight.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says this will be for at least three days, although Auckland and the Coromandel are likely to be there for seven days.

This comes after a positive community case of COVID-19 was identified in Auckland and is now under investigation.

A link between the case and the border, or a managed isolation and quarantine facility, has yet to be established.
