New Zealand has no active cases of the coronavirus, health officials announced today after the last patient came out of quarantine.

The head of health, Ashley Bloomfield, assessed that this is a success that the whole country can be proud of.

"The fact that we have no active cases for the first time since February 28 is certainly an important milestone," Bloomfield said, adding that it is critical to maintain vigilance against Covid-19.

In May, New Zealand's strict restrictions expired after the country was closed for seven weeks.

New Zealand has had 1.154 confirmed cases of the coronavirus and 22 deaths.

There were no new infections in the country for 17 days.
