“We are confident we have eliminated transmission of the virus in New Zealand for now, but elimination is not a point in time, it is a sustained effort.” “Today, 75 days later, we are ready,” Ardern told a news conference, announcing the government would drop social distancing restrictions from midnight on Monday and move to a level 1 national alert from Level 2.There were no active cases in New Zealand for the first time since the virus arrived in late February, the health ministry said. New Zealand has reported 1,154 infections and 22 deaths from the disease.

Ardern said she did a “little dance” when she was told there were no more active COVID-19 cases in New Zealand, surprising her two-year-old daughter, Neve.

jamesfm55 JournoPraveen Actually World Class

New Zealand is an island with a population smaller than most US states...why are the replies talking like this is at all comparable to other countries?

JournoPraveen Their damaged economy can also start to recover. Well done New Zealand

JournoPraveen When your PM knows what they are doing, unlike the useless borisjohnson COVID19

JournoPraveen Massive respect to all New Zealanders! Congratulations on this wonderful achievement. You guys must be feeling so strong and proud of yourselves. And happy! With a great leader! You must be buzzing. Hat off and bowing.

JournoPraveen Where are they? Liar-Johnson Hancock & the junta of destruction? You are directly responsible for the horrific deaths of 65000! You are as guilty as if you abandoned them at sea You chose herd immunity to show how exceptional you were. Exceptional murderers.

JournoPraveen Surely international travel restrictions still do exist?!

Unathi_Kwaza JournoPraveen Easy on a fucking island with 7 million. That's not even a city in South America

nilmoretto JournoPraveen Me leva!!!!

JournoPraveen if this is true, this is a spot of good news in a year full of bad news.

nilmoretto JournoPraveen Pra se manter assim, eles precisam manter as fronteiras totalmente fechadas ou, no mínimo, fazer testagem e quarentena de 14 dias em todos que chegam ao país durante toda a pandemia mundial ou até que uma vacina esteja distribuída.

JournoPraveen Not so fast.. Atleast let New Zealanders put on masks.

lookner JournoPraveen In other news, dogs can learn accounting and cars run on happy thoughts.

JournoPraveen We could & should be where New Zealand are today. Unfortunately we’re not. Our government are 100% at fault. The time & information was all there for the U.K. to eradicate this virus as other countries have. Through incompetence they got it wrong & have been lying ever since.

nilmoretto JournoPraveen yall acceptint brazilians? i dont mind spending 40 days on isolation before let in
