New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has announced a 12-day extension of the country’s COVID-19 restrictions, after a cluster of cases grew to 29.

There are four “alert levels” in New Zealand, and Auckland has been on Level 3.

The rest of the country is on Level 2, and Ardern said both would be extended.

New Zealand has had success containing coronavirus, and went 102 days without a community transmission.

The origin of the cluster in Auckland - New Zealand's largest city with a population of 1.5 million - is still being investigated.
