> SO happy that our GOVT takes this so seriously.

Can you elaborate? Don't know much of what's going on in NZ at the moment.




For some time now, all incoming visitors have been required to self-isolate for 14 days. This means that any incubating virus runs its course without further incident.

If any symptoms are shown, patients get tested. This is generally done in the carpark of their preferred Doctor (GP).

Positive tests are contact traced. In most cases there are very few potential people they could have infected, since they were isolated.

All businesses have been putting place COVID-19 plans and stepping up things like cleaning and moving workers remote.

Any school with infections possible is immediately closed, close contacts of the infected are put into self-isolation.

After some tourists failed to follow the 14 day quarantine guidelines, NZ has closed all its borders to non-residents.
