Meanwhile, Deputy Prime Minister Grant Robertson says advice from public health officials backs the move to reopen Auckland primary schools next week.
Students at primary schools and kura in Auckland and the area of Waikato in level 3 return to class on Wednesday.
Robertson told First Up advice from health officials was as long as schools had adequate ventilation, and children from year 4 and up were masked, it was safe for classrooms to open their doors again.
