“This is something we have prepared for,” Ardern said in a surprise news conference, adding that the increased caution was as the source of the virus was unknown.

The delaying of elections is the most troubling part

See,what I mean? I just tweeted 2 days ago that a prevailing toxic air from any outside country will cause covid19 in New Zealand.

Women should not be allowed to vote. Pathetic.

It seems we are doomed. Vietnam and now New Zealand with the strictest lockdown and border closures! How can this happen!?

DrTedros has jinxed NZ streak of winning the battle from covid.

This is the 'leader' the media likes to praise?

I get so jealous when I see countries acting with sense.

yikes. thanks China

Firefighting is better than a blazing fire

Noooooooo

Yep. Good.

You can do it Jacinda. I believe in you.

Haha

垃圾国家

Has anyone seen Johnson senior?

They have a good president.

At this point, shouldn't they have implemented contact tracing to have localized lockdown?

KhaiderNutter This smacks of either Govt knowing the situation is far worse or their track and trace system doesn’t work. Maybe she wants more profile as there’s an election next month. How will they know by Friday if anyone else has symptoms Daft mandate.

This only highlights the fact that the disease is a world wide problem. You just can't escape it locally but only a short period of time. Situation must be fixed globally and together.

How?

for 3 days.... RamaIdiot has locked down the country for how many days?

Makes Zero sense: No cases for 102 days then 4 pop up out of nowhere? It would logically seem then, that there's tonnes of asymptomatic cases around.🤔🧐

This isnl foolish, lockdowns are not the solution, you cannot hide forever idiots

She knows what she's doing. Lock down hard, it's short term pain. Instead the U.S. is all over the board and is infested so horribly they are desperately 'fixing' the numbers.

New lockdown measures? Completely unjustified.

Sadly no country is out of the woods yet. We are all interconnected. We are all in this together.

1 case

What a coincidence? Once New Zealand issued joint declaration with 5 eyes, then CCPvirus again. No peace with CCP!

Everytime they get applauded for being the best in treating COVID-19 pandemic, they get another new problem

crazystuff

This really illustrates how nightmarish the asymptomatic spread really is. Think of how many cycles of infection passed unnoticed to allow a symptomatic case to pop up over *100 days* after the last known local case.

At least they know what to do..

have to say, she is a great leader, and wish the best to NZ

StefDFOX19Now It's tyranny.

Welcome to round 2 of 'eternal virus whack-a mole' where the grand prize is a completely cratered economy and then having to go through the epidemic anyway!

Absolute calculated 'strong' move with an election weeks away. Over the top. Enormous financial implications.

How will the hobbit based economy survive?

Good to know there's SOME decent leadership going on somewhere in this world.

Everybody who wants to go to NZ ... bye 👋
