Aug 24, 20211:07Now PlayingNew Zealand reported 41 new coronavirus infections on Tuesday, the country's highest daily total since an outbreak of the delta variant last week prompted the government to put the nation into a strict lockdown.
Health officials said they were confident the country remains on track to quell the outbreak.
Director-General of Health Ashley Bloomfield says most of the new cases appeared linked and officials aren't seeing an exponential rise in infections.
Deputy Prime Minister Grant Robertson hailed the increasing pace of the national vaccination rollout.
New Zealand is scheduled to remain in lockdown until at least Friday, while the city of Auckland where most of the cases have been found will stay in lockdown until at least the end of the month.
The outbreak is the first in New Zealand in six months.
