Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says she “did a little dance” of joy with daughter Neve when she learned New Zealand was COVID-19 free.
On Monday, Kiwi health authorities reported the recovery of the country’s last confirmed case, as well as no new cases for the 17th straight day.
The mighty milestone coincided with Ms Ardern abolishing COVID-related restrictions, returning New Zealanders to the same freedoms they enjoyed before the arrival of the virus.
“Moving to level one (restrictions) is the dividend of everyone’s hard work,” Ms Ardern said, who is fond of referring to her ‘team of five million’ New Zealanders.
