No new case in the last 7 days.
Only one “active” case left.

I have a couple friends there.

Of course, it helps that they are an island a thousand miles from their closest neighbor, so it's easier to control who comes and goes.

But they've all said that first and foremost, it was effective, competent leadership and a consistent message and approach through all levels of government that made it possible. People trust their government, so people will follow what the government asks and tells them to do. There's a clear spirit of "we're all in this together" and understanding of the potential results if the virus is allowed to run rampant.

Of course, they had a few problems... like the ring that stole dozens of rental cars and went joy riding.

Health officials in New Zealand have made an embarrassing U-turn in the case of two women recently arrived from Britain who were infected with Covid-19 and allowed to leave quarantine without being tested – admitting the pair met up with friends when they should not have done.

The initial blunder by officials who failed to test the women for the virus before they were released early from quarantine on compassionate grounds was labelled an “unacceptable failure” by the prime minister, Jacinda Ardern, on Wednesday.

She added that New Zealand’s defence force would now oversee the quarantine of new arrivals and audit the quarantine process.

“It should never have happened and it cannot be repeated,” Ardern said.
