   (CNN) — Almost all coronavirus restrictions in New Zealand will   
   be lifted tomorrow, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has announced,   
   after the country reported no active cases.   
      
   Schools and workplaces will be able to open under the new "level   
   1" rules, with no limitations on gatherings or domestic travel.   
      
   Social distancing, however, is still encouraged and Ardern said   
   New Zealand's international borders will remain shut to non-   
   residents to prevent new outbreaks. Residents arriving in New   
   Zealand will still have to quarantine for two weeks.   
      
   New Zealand currently has no active coronavirus cases, and no   
   positive cases reported in the past 17 days. There has been no   
   one receiving treatment in hospital for Covid-19 for the past 12   
   days and it has been 40 days since the last case of community   
   transmission.   
      
   "This freedom from restrictions relies though heavily on the   
   ongoing role that our border controls will play in keeping the   
   virus out ... The virus will be in our world for some time to   
   come," Ardern said at a press conference Monday.   
      
   The announcement came as the global number of confirmed   
   coronavirus infections surpassed 7 million on Monday, according   
   to Johns Hopkins University's tally, with more than 402,000   
   people killed. New Zealand has had 1,504 confirmed cases and 22   
   deaths.
