New Zealand's Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says there are no undetected transmissions anymore and that the country has "won that battle".
At midnight, New Zealand will lift some of its nationwide lockdown measures, moving down one level on its alert scale.
Director-general of health Dr Ashley Bloomfield said the country had achieved its "goal of elimination".
He explained that this didn't mean zero cases "but it does mean we know where our cases are coming from".
There was one new confirmed case reported on Monday and one further death.
Overall, there have been fewer than 1,500 cases in New Zealand and around 80% of those have already recovered. The deaths of 19 people have been linked to the virus.
