Life has returned to normal for many people in the South Pacific nation of 5 million, as they attend rugby games at packed stadiums and sit down in bars and restaurants without the fear of getting infected. But some worry the country may be getting complacent and not preparing well enough for any future outbreaks.
From early on, New Zealand pursued a bold strategy of eliminating the virus rather than just suppressing its spread. Baker said other countries are increasingly looking to New Zealand for answers. Indeed, New Zealand's economy has fared better than many predicted. The country has managed to keep its unemployment rate at just 4%, although many economists say the number doesn't account for recent job losses and will likely get significantly worse after a government-funded wage subsidy expires next month.
100 seconds since they announced a new outbreak.
You see how that works? The media wasn't able to spread lies over there like y'all do here. They stuck together to defeat it they didn't push bullshit on them and confuse them like the Marxist media does in America.
What an Amazing woman! The women still gonna save the world!
So what she is saying is border work Walls work
UPDATE:
ABC... you jinxed it... :-(
Congratulations! New Zealand!
Don't let anyone in or out of the country

It’s a fu*kin’ island! Of course it can wipe out Covid when it doesn’t allow visitors and it’s population isn’t exposed to the virus, duh!!! NotNews FakeNews
She’s only 30 sum that’s crazy

THIS IS A LEADER FOLKS
MarkMcGowanMP ScottMorrisonMP excellent example of leadership keep westernaustralia borders closed pissoff Clive 🙏🏼✌🏼❤️🇦🇺
By listening to her I remembered 'The Art of War'
She would look so much better with a mask on.
Yo, jaci...you still single, yes? I'm in the USA and unemployed so yeah...I'm rolling in it. $600 dollars a week, baby! Come to Oregon I'll buy us dinner at Olive Garden. All you can eat! HMU. wait, phone call. It's my accountant. yeh I'm back... So hey, you like Taco Bell?
Better be cautious..just when you think it's okay, it shows up..
a island country of under 5 million - half of which live in its capital Auckland and a population density that ranks 167th in the world.
Look close, realDonaldTrump and JoeBiden... This is what a true leader of a country looks like.
Great leadership!
an example of actions and behavior of the leader of a civilized democratic country
Well sure...unfair comparison because New Zealand is the land of the Elves. They're a bunch of ELVES. They almost never get sick and if they do they just draw life energy from the Nature all around them. LordOfTheRings
New Zealand, plz don’t tease me like that.
Smart leadership.
No one wearing a mask. Boarder security. Now we see what real solutions look like!
Leadership.
ProjectLincoln perhaps you should do a piece on New Zeland? they’ve accomplished more in 100 days than realDonaldTrump accomplished in 4 years 😂.
Cries in American.... 😷
They're all gonna die.
Except they still getting daily cases almost. That might only be from travelers but the still have them ?
what are other countries doing that the usa cant control this virus😂
I want what they have.
NDdingus
Take notes realDonaldTrump
Countries with strong Female leaders are handling the pandemic well!
If only we looked at our allies success and failure’s in fighting this beforehand, we could have saved thousands of lives.
7.9 BILLION PEOPLE ON EARTH WUHAN VIRUS DEATHS 711,000 -w/flu mixed in = 0.0085% More die in cars= 1.3 million! FLU 35million sick 349,000 die yr Heart disease kills 17.9 million yr We never were or will ever be.. completely safe. Living anyway is.. FREEDOM! OPEN U.S.A.
Such a small country with such a big leader!
This woman is ffing brilliant as a national leader.
Uh, it's a tiny island. LoL
It was an isolated island with low population that made the difference. Also, they're not testing everyone. They're only testing if you show symptoms. This is JUNK science. Terrible.
Hey. We have great leadership here too. Do you want to learn how to lie, cheat, steal, blame someone else and profit by it? Oh, also, how to look like you know how to play golf.
More people are seeing through the anti-Trump propaganda and the media creates everyday. The Media has lost credibility. EnemyOfThePeople Trump2020
And leadership by a woman who made tough decisions and citizens that were willing to make sacrifices for the good of everyone. We have a weakling who can only name call, tweet, pout and throw tantrums and his followers who display the same characteristics.
In other words the people responded logically to defeat the virus, amazing. Sadly the people in the USA haven't figured that out yet. Our leaders strategy is that it is what it is.
A land locked island country the size of Colorado with less than 5 million people. And science did it?
How interesting that the island where the corrupt rich liberals go to hideout doesn't have a COVID problem.
natural boarders juuuuuuuuuust might of had a little to do with it
New Zealand, Germany, Canada, South Korea, etc have less wealth than the US—however, they all have lower deaths/million than we do. There is no secret recipe for success WRT COVID. *We're not lagging behind our peers for lack of wealth* It comes down to a failure of leadership
Sweden did nothing, and they are in good shape. We were misled.
New Zealand has a public Healthcare system. America has a medical ponzi scheme that assures millions of needless deaths annually.
America has the science but not the leadership.
A small population on an island thousands of miles from anywhere.. had nothing to do with it
I guess it is what it is...here 😕
New Zealand bows to their Muslim masters. Disgusting.
New Zealand! They filmed Lord of the Rings there and their government won't kill you!
Paradise
May be follow what newzeland has done sure ABC can find out how they did and broadcast on the TV how they done it
New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is a great role model for the rest of the world! 🇳🇿 SHE GETS THE JOB DONE!!!
Even more interesting than the COVID success is that the Prime Minister is out among people, seemingly at a market, without crazy security. Unless I've missed something.
Haha..does anyone really believe New Zealand is accurate reporting its cases? Hahahahaha
Socialism works.

I wish the US was an island with only 15 people per square kilometer.
True leadership
Meanwhile the U.S. is seeing to it that they never get rid of it. Because we are GREAT at spreading it. WIN.
Great News! 1/3 of Americans are not buying the 'covid narrative'! Let's get that number even higher! Hats Off to those sharing Truth & Knowledge! Kudos! Gratitude! Link:

Remember when Vietnam did the same thing and everyone ignored it. Vietnam is not an island and has a population of 95 million. Oh and it borders China.
It's an island. COVID-19 will come around again as soon as visitors come in. It has a significantly small population compared to Australia.
I wish usa do the same!
Border closure is the only information explicitly missing when it’s the main factor separating NZ from most other countries . That doesn’t mean it was this factor who was central to apparent NZ success but at least it should be mentioned But it goes against the narrative
There must be something we can learn from theminstead of having an incompetent president claiming credits for making things worse.
The only information missing : total border closure since March 19th. That can be inferred by reading the last paragraphs but it should be discussed as the main topic. What New Zealand did differently is to totally close its borders. Lockdowns have been everywhere. Fake news
We have brilliant scientists and medical workers in the Philippines. What we lack is the other one. Congrats NZ!
OK and I guess nobody flooded the beaches or went to church or participated in mass demonstrations in the streets or continued to go to bars and host parties
No comparison to USA. Only 5 million people. Island nation, one international airport. No comparison. It’s not science, it’s seclusion.
“Ooookay, New Zealand - we GET it. You’ve got LEADERS! Stop showing off.” Typed as Jason Mantzoukas.
If NZ was a state, it would be 25th in population (4.9MM) between AL and LA. It is also a remote island. However, I'm glad for them to be doing well, but it doesn't translate anywhere except other similar islands.
Orange man bad
Will New Zealand accept Americans?WakeUpAmerica TrumpThreatensAmerica
Oh please, what a dumb analysis
Not because its an island, with closed borders? I ask this for realDonaldTrump
And no massive testing.
I’m sure not having riots, a total population of an average metropolitan area in the U.S., and low population density might’ve had something to do with it. This country really has gotten pretty dumb.
There are less than 5 million people there. It’s an island. But ok.
This isn't a big accomplishment for an isolated island of 4.5 million people that hasn't allowed anyone to enter the country for months
It also doesn’t hurt that they are an island nation with a relatively small population compared to America & don’t have nearly as many International airports. Those are huge differences which helped.
And closing the borders
So what you’re saying is that the US should close its boarders and halt immigration?
You can’t really be this naive. Or maybe you just like the division your reporting causes. This is an island with closed boarders. But you know that right?
Also were thw place is.
What a great leader she is
To stay covid free, they have to keep their international travel shut down indefinitely. Tourism is a massive part of their economy. Hopefully they'll improvise and find economic solutions.
Will The Vaccines Make a difference?
Nobody believes this shit ! Lol
Pretty sure the fact that it’s an isolated island with a smaller population and population density than Massachusetts might have more to do with this than “science” and “leadership”.
Why don’t you publish anything about how hard trump is fighting child trafficking?
Being an island that strictly controls it's border really helps too.
Only 500,000 tests done out of a population of 10 million?
Until they open up
I think President Trump is a more chaotic disaster than the Virus
Gee...... $100 says over 99% of the US population hasn’t even been there.... And if they did travel there, they would’ve wondered why they did in the 1st place. 🍻
Also, Americans struggle to realize denial and hubris appear to be highly ineffective
The country also has only about 5 million people and LOW density.
The fact that it's an island far from the rest of the world probably helps too.
Tamaran a former Hollywood stylist is dishing the dirt on her TikTok page
I say again: TAKE ME TAKE ME!!!!!
Whereas here in the USA we can’t even get people to wear a mask. See what can happens when a country comes together instead of allowing our politicians to tear us apart for their own political gain?
You’re an island in the middle of no where with 100 people. I mean congratulations but let’s not get carried away here.
Rev 19;15 Of his MOUTH is a SHARP SWORD with which to STRIKE down the NATIONS. He will RULE them with an IRON SCEPTER. He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: king of kings.
That, and a woman in charge.
It was a tiny quarantined island.
What a concept
Impressive
Not a single mention of death rate or treatments used. Great story abc.
They must not test at all! 🙄🙄
Why do we always blame someone else how about we be responsible
Because they have a working government and a citizenry that has common sense. Be like them not the US
A woman running the country, take note realDonaldTrump .
How did you guys do That’s so great news 👍👍
During that time an inept, incompetent Pedo still living his lie that it’s a Hoax and Masks are a Democrat Fake, impacting 350M Americans, 3.5M contracting the illness and 120,000 additional Deaths. Radical-Right SenateGOP HouseGOP Still pandering and sucking up to POTUS
Cmon abc, ravaged? 40 billion people in the world 1 million got sick. Who.
NewZealand coronavirus Must not be any Democrats there. 😳
JESUS is the answer for the world today Watch
rmayemsinger ,JaniceGW Ireland0828 HillBeverlyhill well folks hear is a country that stopped COVID in its tracks. Yes in New Zealand they have 100 days of no positive cases. Love to hear Trumps excuse about his failure. Americans ignore the responsable way to act.
I'm curious how they would approach other threats like global warming or a nuclear war. Because of their approach to threats they would probably fare much better than other nations would using similar logic. America's rebellious nature is a liability during times of crisis.
They didn't waste precious time by launching conspiracy theories, attacking their culture or assigning blame. They obviously avoided all of the unproductive things that the US did and focused their attention on the science, not the politics. Maybe they are wiser with a higher IQ
Hope
Friendly reminder Vietnam is 95 million and in the same position.
Well done, New Zealand!
Their population is about 5M, so 🙄
Quite an accomplishment.... For a remote island nation.
It’s called locking down the country from outsiders and having a little bit of discipline from the people inside the country. Bravo, but as soon as you open the borders, you’ll be knee deep in it with the rest of us.
It has not 'stamped out' anything. As long as this virus is present on earth, & people move around, there will be risk. This whole SD/LD biz was a STALL to ensure that Hospitals could accommodate projected ill. The problem was enough beds to care for ill CV patients.
Per population 331,000,000, we are 3.3% deaths
i want to live in a country guided by science, led by smart people who care for public health like it's their own. so sick of the propaganda of trumpism. good job NewZealand !
They set everybody adrift that had it.
That's great 🤩
Can we borrow their leadership? Ours is broken and corrupt.

It must be nice to have competent leadership. Sorely missed in the USA.
