New Zealand is continuing to uphold its reputation for having one of the world’s strictest and most effective approaches to the COVID-19 pandemic. On Tuesday, January 26 in a press conference, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced that the country’s borders will remain closed until its citizens are widely vaccinated.
According to Ardern, as reported by The Guardian, “New Zealand will only truly feel like it returns to normal when there is a certain level of morality in the rest of the world too. But given the risks in the world around us and the uncertainty of the global rollout of the vaccine, we can expect our borders to be impacted for much of this year.”
