New Zealand ‘Beat The Virus Again’ Prime Minister Declares, As Nation Lifts Second Wave Restrictions

New Zealand, the first country hit by Covid-19 to declare it was free of the virus before going into lockdown again, is set to declare that it has overcome a second wave of the illness, cementing its position as one of the countries with the most successful response to the virus.... [+]Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, whose approval rating has soared as a result of her government’s handling of the virus, said on Monday that New Zealanders “beat the virus again”.

The changes mean that the 100-person cap on gatherings will be lifted, and social distancing will be done away with in bars and restaurants. New Zealand had declared just over 100 days free from community transmission in early August, but authorities soon after reintroduced lockdown measures that same month afterAuckland was placed under alert level 3 in mid August, with gatherings severely restricted and people encouraged to stay home except for essential reasons, such as work.. That’s how many infections New Zealand has counted to date, according to Johns Hopkins University, while 25 people who contracted Covid-19 have died.

They had such few deaths that the draconian laws seemed unnecessary. Glad they have a woman prime minster to put them in the grave.

Lol look at the idiots in the comments comparing a country with 4.8 million to the United States with 330+ million. NZ closing is like Alabama closing. Much different closing JUST Alabama compared to all 50 states. But no, it must be Trumps fault. 😂🤣 Spoken like true idiots. 🤣

Who needs immunity when you're not even drawn on global maps?

Boring.

That they can't even prove it exists.

I wish we had a good President here in the US....

Watch and learn, BorisJohnson!

Hollow victory, New Zealand will need to stay shut off forever.

Getting the Kiwis ready for lockdown 3. If you would trade liberty for security, indeed you deserve neither.

If there is a practical, real, and relatable figure of ideal leadership. It's her!

Technically they didn’t *beat* it. It’s still there they are dodging it.

this is hilarious.
