ladies, gentlefolk, a change that happened, (or at least reported) yesterday - all - Covid cases are now being held in quarantine.
wot dis meenz (What this means) - it gives the health authorities some leeway, to either not escalate the Covid lock down levels, or decrease them.
I won't try and pre empt the announcement due to happen today (noting that the current levels expire at midnight, not midday), the options in my view, could be to either increase lvls or decrease lvls.

If I were to wonder what could make the lvls decrease, a scenario like the following could be figure in my wonderings :
A group of people, some of whom, have "my social life is more important that anything, even life itself", as their raison d'être ( reason for existence ) have run around the North Island even though they were exhibiting Flu-like symptoms, contacting all manner of people, who didn't and now do, have Covid.
Authority action - lock 'em all up in quarantine - no more spread from this bunch of spreaders, who couldn't be trusted to stay at home and self isolate when they got sick.
Q: if all cases are now quarantined, do we need to stay at current levels of lockdown?
_____
So rather than screaming about what the Authorities are, or are not doing, this is what I'm gonna do - I'm going to be happy if they prevent the spread of this virus.
Because I don't want to live in a country like Yokel-land where they have more than a thousand people dying every day, because some of them are more concerned about having parties and spreading conspiracy theories, than eradicating a virus that has the potential to decimate the human population in this planet.
