New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern hit back against Pres. Trump for saying her country is experiencing a 'big surge' in COVID-19, calling the remarks 'patently wrong.'
"With a novel virus like this, you have lots to learn," says Dr. David Grenache, president-elect of the American Association for Clinical Chemistry.
While the cause of the outbreak is still being investigated, experts say it's possible the virus has been there all along. Then, after 102 days of this undetected, smoldering transmission, one infected person became symptomatic, and was found to have the coronavirus. Lednicky thinks this is the most likely explanation for the current outbreak in New Zealand.
No matter the reason, the fact that COVID-19 sprung up in New Zealand again demonstrates the virus's tenacity. Even with a weekslong lockdown, mandatory quarantine guidelines, social distancing, and attempts at establishing a"mask culture" in the island nation, the coronavirus still managed to re-outbreak.
