New Zealand lifts all domestic coronavirus restrictions

With no active cases of the coronavirus, New Zealand has lifted all its domestic restrictions on social distancing and mass gatherings.

On Tuesday residents returned to cafes to catch up with friends or took part in pilates classes, now allowed after the country moved into alert level 1.

A trans-Tasman bubble is being worked on, but neither Australian nor New Zealand is ready to resume flights yet.

New Zealand's Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said they won't insist on Australia having zero cases of COVID-19 before allowing trans-Tasman travel to resume.
