WELLINGTON: New Zealand on Wednesday reported 61 new coronavirus cases, but said it was too early to assess if the lower number of cases this week meant the nationwide lockdown measures were working., and a national emergency was declared, to beat the local transmission of COVID-19.Offices and schools were shut and all non-essential services, bars, restaurants, cafes, gyms, cinemas, pools, museums, libraries and playgrounds were closed.
The number of new COVID-19 cases was as high as 85 last week, but has stayed lower this week. More than half of the cases was related to overseas travel and community transmission cases were about 1 per cent. New Zealand, with about 5 million people, has fewer infections than many other countries, like neighbouring Australia, where the number of cases now exceeds 4,500 with 20 deaths.
"If virus is in the community in this way ... then worst thing we can do is to relax and be complacent, and allow the silent spread," Ardern added.Finance Minister Grant Robertson told a parliamentary committee earlier in the day that he expected a quantum economic shock from COVID-19 that would be greater than the global financial crisis.
