The last coronavirus patient was discharged from the hospital in New Zealand, as the country saw five consecutive days without any new cases.
A New Zealand medical facility discharged its last patient hospitalized with coronavirus on Wednesday as the island nation marked its fifth consecutive day without any new cases reported.
According to the country's health ministry, the total number of confirmed cases stands at 1,154 and 21 deaths. There are currently 21 active cases in the country. "Decisive action, going hard and going early, helped to stamp out the worst of virus," Ardern in a statement in April. "I think of countries like New Zealand who have really done the lot and they've gone from public health measures to a very graded response to very systematic case finding and contact tracing to a high rate of testing," Ryan said during a previous news briefing."When all of those factors have been put together, the disease tends to be more controllable."
