WELLINGTON: New Zealanders will be allowed to go fishing, surfing, hunting and hiking this week for the first time in more than a month as the country begins to ease its way out of a strict lockdown that successfully slowed the spread of the coronavirus.
Beaches, waterfronts and playgrounds were shut, effectively restricting people to their homes and short walks around their neighbourhood. Keen fishers will be permitted to cast a line from a wharf only as boating, yachting and other team sports or training remained barred. Hunting will be allowed on private land with special restrictions.
“We have done well to stay out of the water, but tomorrow there’s going to be a lot of people keen to go surfing,” Kennings said.
