The city, and another area the male visited on the Coromandel Peninsula, are going into full lockdown for 7 days, and the remainder of the country for 3 days.
Residents will only be allowed leave their homes for exercise, medical supplies and the visiting of supermarkets.
Jacinda Ardern says she’s not taking any chances:
