Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern admitted Monday that New Zealand's widely praised "Covid zero" strategy had failed to halt a stubborn outbreak in Auckland and said a new approach was needed.
But an August outbreak prompted a seven-week lockdown in its main population centre that has failed to curb infection rates. She added that the change -- a major shift to her previous goal of completely stamping out the virus -- was possible because vaccination rates had increased dramatically. Auckland will remain in lockdown for now but the government will conduct weekly reviews to time the reintroduction of freedoms.
