The Government will be reviewing Auckland's Covid-19 Alert Level today, deciding whether to keep it at Level 2 or lower it to Level 1.

Auckland has been in Alert Level 2 since September 22, when the rest of the country moved to Level 1 restrictions.

It's been nine days without any community cases after the outbreak started on August 12, when four cases of community transmission were confirmed.

In total, 179 cases have been linked to the cluster, while other smaller outbreaks have also popped up in the interim.

If the Government decides to lower the Alert Level to Level 1, it won't take effect until Wednesday as the order needs 48 hours to be approved.
