New Zealand's coronavirus cases jumped on Thursday, as questions grew about the government's response to the pandemic given the slowest vaccination rate among developed countries and the economic pressures of prolonged isolation.
The new cases may delay those plans and are causing concern in the nation, which has struggled to get its population vaccinated.
"It's no longer clear Jacinda Ardern's strategy is the right one," read one opinion piece in the New Zealand Herald.Experts also said vaccinating everyone was the way to return to some normalcy. "I think what is critical is that as a nation we now seriously focus on getting as many people vaccinated as possible, it is the only way our country can return to normality for the sake of our health and people’s livelihoods."
