Coronavirus: Contact tracing not the reason for lockdown extension - Ardern

From Morning Report, 7:20 am on 21 April 2020

New Zealand's Alert Level 4 lockdown has been extended for a little over a week, ending just before midnight on Monday 27 April.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern told Morning Report the extension was not due to contact tracing issues, rather balancing the increased chance of eradicating the disease with the economic impact.
