New Zealand back in lockdown as new mystery cases emerge

Ms Ardern said it was the first positive case in the county in more than 100 days that was not in a managed isolation facility and that the country would resort to the “go hard, go early” strategy they had successfully deployed before.

Ms Ardern said the positive cases had come from one household but the outbreak had put more than one workplace at risk. “We have planned [for a possible resurgence], now that moment has arrived where we have to use that plan. We’ve rolled out our plans before and it's worked.”Auckland Mayor Phil Goff has called for calm and patience as the city goes into another lockdown.

Auckland resident Tim Armstrong was at the supermarket when the lockdown announcement was made. He said anxious shoppers arrived almost immediately. New Zealanders had returned to normal life, but authorities said earlier this week they had become concerned people were refusing testing, not using the government contact-tracing apps, and even ignoring basic hygiene rules.

Ha ha I don't want to say I told you so but I told you so!! so many people blocked me because They thought New Zealand was the poster child of non-heard immunity

'The COVID ward was terrifying': Victorians send stark coronavirus warnings in confronting new videosA new advertising campaign featuring coronavirus survivors and frontline health workers has been launched in Victoria to emphasise the long-term impacts of the disease. Why wasn’t this campaign being done in Victoria earlier. If more efforts were spent on quarantine and warnings, Victoria won’t be in such a coronavirus state. The Victorian government is a shambles, advertising a product that's nearly sold out. Imho a time when calm is needed, storytelling seems to heighten anxiety. This is wrong.
