New Zealand claims it had 'eliminated' the coronavirus as the country announced the easing of restrictions, with new cases in single figures
New Zealand claimed Monday it had"eliminated" the coronavirus as the country announced the easing of restrictions from"level four" to"level three," with new cases in single figures.Ashley Bloomfield, New Zealand's Director General of Health, said the low number"does give us confidence that we've achieved our goal of elimination, which -- that never meant zero but it does mean we know where our cases are coming from.
New Zealand's Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said the coronavirus was"currently" eliminated but that the country needed to remain alert and could still expect to continue to see new cases. Ardern said that in the past few days, cases had been in the single digits, calling the numbers"incredible" while sending her sympathies to those who had lost loved-ones during the pandemic.
New Zealand currently restricts most travelers from coming into the country, except its citizens and permanent residents.
