Ardern reveals 'unprecedented' travel restrictions, all visitors to New Zealand to self-isolate

Breaking down the latest news and research to understand how the world is living through an epidemic, this is the ABC's Coronacast.

The news will have implications for a number of Australian sporting leagues and events, and already the remaining two games of Australia's three-match ODI series with New Zealand have been called off, as well as Australia's upcoming tour of the country. The Government said it was taking what it called a"precautionary approach" because the event, scheduled for Sunday, was expected to attract a large crowd with many travelling from around New Zealand and from overseas.

What we cant find out is if visitors already in NZ over 70 with underlying health issues should return to Scotland now or wait? My parents need to get the correct advice UKGovScotland BorisJohnson

And NewZealand with jacindaardern sets the bar for the world yet again. Simple and logical!!

MAKES THE AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT LOOK VERY STUPID AGAIN!

This adds to her already woeful border policies on immigration and refugee intake.

That's one way to stop crim deportations from Oz 🤔 Refugees are not visitors Jacinda, let them in!

Leaders lead

she should have done this over a month ago

Is she going to Self Actualize into her Alter Ego, AOC of the U.S Democrat Party?

i wish i had a NZ passport it looks like its going to be the only 5 eyes nation not plague ridden in 2 months time

This is what every country should have done. Very disappointed our country Australia didn’t do this while we could but rather wait for WHO to advise. Now Australia needs to shut states, business & schools ASAP before our cases become out of control ScottMorrisonMP

Arden: Leadership, responsibility, integrity. 👍 Scomo: 🔥💩

Why is there no coverage of the Hillsong events. 1000s of people in close contact, from all over the world.

Closing the borders would make more sense. Do you really think that people will self isolate? We are getting to the same people we've seen fight over toilet paper recently.

Why can’t Australia do the same?!

So closed borders are a good thing now?

Ummm ok. So how is that monitored? Ridiculous

Brave and responsible the people come first not the greedy banks etc and rich donors

This is how leadership looks like!

Would be a good idea for Oz, before community spread infection increases.

Scott Morrison, did you hear it? Please adopt the same measures ASAP!

Meanwhile Adern government is failing in New Zealand and the reliance on New Zealand First will eventually see labour stymied from implementing its policies. The fact is that the Nationals are no better.

We need this in Australia right now. We have a small window of opportunity. NZ sees it, why can't we? coronapocalypse

New Zealand eclipses Australia - again.

No restrictions, it’s self isolation, good luck with that.

This. 🙏 Come on Australia- 2 weeks at home, mandatory 2 weeks for travellers for next 3 months, we slow this thing right down. All we can do is give our medical system a fighting chance. Continual haphazard cancellations are not the answer, & don’t help collective anxiety.

I knew she was a closet racist.

Except the vet and dentist

Great idea, why Australia is not doing it is beyond me

who, please advice all countries to follow the steps of NZ. Let's stop running from pillar to post. Let's exercise staggered or total lockdown worldwide, with mandatory 2 weeks quarantine for all travellers on arrival in EVERY country? coronavirus COVID19 CancelEverything

Sweet as bro

Ardern should be the World’d PM decisive, compassionate and acts.

A rello was going on holiday TODAY to Fiji and NZ.... I hope it was NZ first.... he was only going to NZ for a week!!!!

What leadership looks like: Ardern gets it right, again.

ScottMorrisonMP your move.

This should be enforced for Australia too. The problem is not going to be the percentage of deaths, but the shortage of equipment such as ventilators for people struggling to breathe.

AUSTRALIA HAS TO DO THE SAME NOW!!! we have more cases than them and thry r taking better action than us!

I love that woman. We need that kind of leadership here. Not the wet pile of rags serving as our “government”.

Might seem extreme atm, but after everything this when they have the lowest infection rate in the world it won’t seem so silly

Given most cases in Australia seem to be people returning from overseas and there is yet little community transmission, seems like smart policy and leadership to me.

You know why Singapore, Japan and HongKong can contain the virus in a limited time? They close all the schools. They cancel all the events. They teach people to wear the masks and avoid unnecessary social contact. They encourage work from home.

This makes a lot more sense than events bans.

Learn from France, Danish, Canada and other countries who took precautionary measures! Listen to the medical professionals! Close all the schools and universities! Encourage work from home mode. Travel ban EU, UK and USA!

yeah that's really stupid

Considering NZ has much less confirmed case than AU, their government are take the precautionary and necessary measures to avoid the deadly virus widespread. Please follow the suit, PM!

She all show.

RACIST XENOPHOBE!

So, I am guessing that CoNZealand is now cancelled?

Yeah because self isolation is SO effective 🙄🙄

Please do the same thing for all Australian people!

Has she hugged a virus sufferer yet ?

This is what we should have done from the beginning. We should implement this strategy now.

She is brave, responsible, and very good

One PM who is taking the health and well being of her constituents seriously.

Once again, this is what real leadership looks like.

Self isolate..powerful!

Can this women get any uglier?

Hillsong would never let ScottyFromMarketting do this!

Well, that's a bit obvious really. Bit like the rest of the world. She's like a sonic boom.

What about asylum seekers ?

Time to step up ScottMorrisonMP

That's what our leadership would do here, IF WE HAD ANY

What leadership looks like
