It appears the capital has dodged a bullet - another day with no community Covid-19 cases means a return to alert level 1 from midnight.
Wellington, Wairarapa and the Kāpiti Coast shifted to level two last week, after a man from Sydney spent the weekend in the Capital before testing positive with the Delta variant.
Covid-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins says more than 8,000 Wellingtonians were tested - giving Cabinet confidence to ease restrictions.
