Re: Covid
New Zealand will go into a national lockdown on Tuesday night, after detecting one case of Covid-19.
The entire country will be at alert level 4 – the highest level of lockdown – for at least three days from midnight, and the regions of Auckland and Coromandel for four to seven days.
New Zealand has not had a level 4 lockdown in more than a year, and the case is believed to be the first Delta in-community transmission.
The prime minister, Jacinda Ardern, said: “Delta has been called a gamechanger, and it is. It means we need to again go hard and early to stop the spread. We have seen what can happen elsewhere if we fail to get on top of it. We only get one chance.”

Apparently, a homeless sex worker, a missing link and the string of mystery Covid-19 cases: Melburnians who hired a prostitute in St Kilda are urged to get tested as authorities scramble to investigate new outbreak.

Again apparently, people living in parts of south-east Melbourne are urged to get tested as several mystery cases continue to cause concern - with fears mounting of the city's lockdown being extended again.
And a report tells that: Kiwi shoppers get into a fight over TOILET PAPER as New Zealand's outbreak swells to FIVE cases - including a nurse at Auckland Hospital.

Re: Covid
Taking all you see in the media will usually result in a poor outcome.
Half of what is told is about half of the truth in most casers.
