New Zealand has recorded 54 new virus cases - the lowest number the country has seen in two weeks.

Earlier Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said the country appeared "at this early stage to be on track".

New Zealand is currently in a state of emergency and a lockdown has been in place for almost two weeks.

All schools and non-essential services have been closed and five million people told not to leave their house unless necessary.

People have also been called to stick to their "bubble" - your family or the group of people that you live with.

"Whatever your bubble is for the month, this is the bubble that you must maintain," said Ardern.

There are currently 1,160 confirmed cases in New Zealand, with one death.
