New Zealand is now one week into the nationwide lockdown and there's concern some Kiwis are still flouting the rules.
Beachgoers were lured outside with good weather yesterday, including a group of surfers in Dunedin who were ordered out of the water by police.
Northland-based health campaigner Dr Lance O’Sullivan, a former New Zealander of the Year, says the safety messages aren't sinking in.
“This is not what a lockdown's about. There's far too many people, far too many cars on the roads,” said Dr O’Sullivan.

“This is not a lockdown, this is a joke.”
So far, four people have been arrested for breaching restriction and 14,000 breaches have been reported to the police 105 website.
