“We have won the battle”
These were the words of the New Zealand Prime Minister who claims that the country is now coronavirus-free. Jacinda Ardern said that “there is no widespread, undetected community transmission in New Zealand”.
As per the reports, New Zeland had implemented lockdown with Level four restrictions. This means, only essential services were allowed to operate in the country with strict restrictions on any other kind of service.
And now that has been successful, Level 5 restrictions have been eased down to Level 3. This will allow more business and public institutions to operate.
