Waikato moves to step 2 of alert level 3 tonight but Aucklanders have to live with their current Covid-19 restrictions for at least eight more days.
Cabinet has decided in principle to move Auckland to alert level 3 step 2 at 11.59pm next Tuesday.
Shops, museums and libraries can reopen with mask-wearing and social distancing, and the outdoor gathering limit will be increased to 25.

Waikato District Mayor Allan Sanson is over the moon about the move to step 2 at midnight.
He said the announcement was the boost people needed, because compliance levels were starting to drop.
