NZ's Covid figures
Jun. 8th, 2020 03:50 pmFinal tally:
Number of cases: 1504
Number of deaths: 22
Days since last case: 17
Number of current cases: 0
We made it.
Tonight we move to Alert Level 1, which means life essentially as normal (no lockdown, no social distancing, events of any size allowed) but with our borders remaining closed. Eventually we'll be able to form a travel bubble with other countries who are also Covid-free, but they're not there yet so it's a way off.
Because our borders won't stay closed forever, it's unlikely that we'll never see another case here. When we do, we now have systems in place to hopefully shut recurrences down fast to avoid the economy-shattering lockdowns. But whatever the future holds, we're very, very happy to be right here, right now. The Prime Minister said she did a little dance in her living room. I think we probably all did.
