With most countries working on ways to contain the coronavirus, New Zealand has set itself a much more ambitious goal: eliminating it altogether.

New Zealand will move from COVID-19 Alert Level 4 to Alert Level 3 at 11:59 p.m. on April 27, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said on Monday.

The New Zealand government will arrange to bring citizens stranded in India back home, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Winston Peters said on Monday.
