Covid-19: Phil Goff on possible alert level move - a podcast by RNZ

Auckland Mayor Phil Goff thinks the city should go down to alert level 3 this week to prevent lockdown fatigue.
Cabinet will decide today on whether to ease restrictions.
Phil Goff says elimination of Covid-19 should still be the goal.
But he thinks level 3 would ease the economic and psychological pressures on Aucklanders who are facing their longest lockdown since the pandemic began.
Goff says Auckland's vaccination rates are also on a positive trajectory - 80 percent of the population have had at least one dose.
