New Zealand returns fine after first domestic case of Covid-19 in six months

After discovering the first case of Covid-19 of local origin for six months, New Zealand will be reshaped. New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced on Tuesday, August 17, that the country is back in strict containment due to the discovery of a case in Auckland, the most populous city. This is the first domestic issue since February 28.

New Zealand will be fully confined for three days from Wednesday, while Auckland and Coromandel, the coastal city where the infected person has also resided, will be confined for seven days.

“Get out of this situation as soon as possible.”

So schools, places of worship, administrations and all businesses will have to close. Only essential services will remain operational. “The best thing we can do to get out of this situation as quickly as possible is to do our best.”m . said^I Ardern, at a press conference.

The overseas archipelago has been praised for its effective management of the Covid-19 pandemic, which has so far killed only twenty-six people out of a population of five million. However, the vaccination campaign is struggling to unfold, with about 20% of the population currently being fully immunized.

Auckland’s two million residents were locked up for short periods. The last time was in March. Last week, authorities said the discovery of contamination cases linked to the delta variable would lead to ‘short and sudden confinement’.
