The country's director-general of health, Ashley Bloomfield, said the small number of new cases in recent days"does give us confidence that we have achieved our goal of elimination." Ardern's remarks came as New Zealand, a country of just 5 million people, downgraded its COVID-19 alert to level 3 — meaning most, but not all, businesses are being allowed to reopen.
"Your business must be contactless. Your customers can pay online, over the phone or in a contactless way," she said."Delivery or pickup must also be contactless."
