After 57 days under tight Covid-19 restrictions Aucklanders are getting used to life back at Alert Level 1.

The last people from the Auckland outbreak have recovered from the virus but the source of the cluster which infected 179 people and killed three remains a mystery.

It started in August ending 102 days of no community transmission nationwide.

The city went into a Alert Level 3 lockdown while the rest of the country moved to Level 2.

Restrictions have eased gradually and Auckland returned to level one at one minute to midnight on Wednesday.
