It has been a month since the UK's controversial Freedom Day when the Boris Johnson-led Conservative government threw open the doors despite thousands of daily cases and 4000 scientists urging them not to.

ANALYSIS: The news that the lockdown will continue – another week for Aucklanders and at least four days for everyone else – should not come as a surprise.
