New Zealand is imposing mask rules and gathering limits after it detected a cluster of nine Omicron cases, which showed community transmission of the virus

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Arden has cancelled her wedding as the nation imposes new restrictions to slow the community spread of the COVID-19 Omicron variant, she told reporters.

New Zealand will impose mask rules and limit gathering from midnight on Sunday after a cluster of nine cases of the COVID-19 Omicron variant showed community transmission from the North to South islands after a wedding. A family travelled by plane from the North Island capital of Auckland to a wedding in the South Island attended by 100 people. The family and a flight attendant tested positive.

New Zealand would move to a red setting under its COVID-19 protection framework, with more mask wearing, and a cap of 100 customers indoors in hospitality settings and events such as weddings, or 25 people if venues are not using vaccine passes, Arden said. “My wedding will not be going ahead,” she told reporters, adding she was sorry for anyone caught up in a similar scenario.She added, “I am no different to, dare I say it, thousands of other New Zealanders who have had much more devastating impacts felt by the pandemic, the most gutting of which is the inability to be with a loved one sometimes when they are gravely ill. That will far, far outstrip any sadness I experience.

Northern border tragedy warns of new, unfamiliar immigration wrinkle for Canada, U.S.The discovery of four people who perished in the cold trying to cross the Canada-U.S. border could put a new twist on the immigration debate in the United States.

Quebec COVID-19 hospitalizations drop for third straight day, 68 new deathsQuebec reported a third straight day of decreases in COVID-19 hospitalizations with 56 fewer patients from 24 hours ago. The province added 68 new deaths due to the novel coronavirus. 'Linked to Covid.' A link that is probably far less relevant than the $595-million package our government has spoon fed to our media for this kind of dishonest coverage. How many Canadians died because of opioid overdoses in 2021 ?

Biden issues new warning to Russia over invading UkraineU.S. President Joe Biden said Thursday that any Russian troop movements across Ukraine's border would constitute an invasion, saying that Moscow would 'pay a heavy price' for such an action. That’s not Biden It's the US that has invaded other countries since WW2 not Russia. Western media and hypocrisy at it's best. So much about Crimea but what about Iraq, Afghanistan. What the fact the US annexed Kosovo from Serbia? Russia has Navalny and the US has Assange but the media is so blind
