Cabinet meets on Monday, April 20, and will decide then whether it's safe to drop down to alert level 3 and when that will happen. Their decision will be based on advice from the Ministry of Health about whether the Covid-19 outbreak is contained.
When it's announced, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern will also give an indication about how long it might be before dropping to alert level 2 to help manage expectations.
Newstalk ZB host Tim Dower joins The Panel on The Weekend Collective to discuss this, along with the other issues making news this week.
