'Act like you have COVID-19': Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says as New Zealand heads into lockdown by pravemn Follow the latest news on coronavirus with our live blog:
WELLINGTON - Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern told New Zealanders on Wednesday to behave as if they had the coronavirus and cut all physical contact outside their household when the country heads into a one-month lockdown at midnight.
The government has imposed self-isolation for everyone , with all non-essential services, schools and offices to be shut for a month from midnight . Ardern told parliament the lockdown was triggered by early evidence of community transmission of COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus. “Every move you then make is a risk to someone else. That is how we must all collectively think. That’s why the joy of physically visiting other family, children, grandchildren, friends, neighbors is on hold. Because we’re all now putting each other first. And that is what we as a nation do so well.”New Zealand, with about 5 million people, has fewer infections than many other countries, but Ardern’s government wants to move fast to halt the spread.
Major cities like Auckland and Wellington wore a deserted look on Wednesday as businesses shut down, cafes closed and all offices locked their doors. On Wednesday, it announced a six month freeze on residential rent increases and increased protection from having tenancies terminated.
