WELLINGTON - New Zealand marked 100 days without a domestic transmission of the coronavirus on Sunday , but warned against complacency as countries like Vietnam and Australia which once had the virus under control now battle a resurgence in infections.
"Achieving 100 days without community transmission is a significant milestone, however, as we all know, we can't afford to be complacent," Director-General of Health Ashley Bloomfield said. Vietnam, which went for three months without detecting any domestic transmission, is now racing to control a new outbreak in Danang.
There have been cases of returning New Zealanders sneaking out of quarantine, and other security slip-ups.
