New Zealand has marked an enviable milestone -- more than 100 days since its last coronavirus case was acquired locally from an unknown source.
As of Monday, the country had reported 1,219 confirmed cases, including just 21 active infections, all in managed isolation facilities. No cases had emerged via community transmission in 100 days, authorities announced Sunday, with all new infections coming from abroad.In total, the island nation of 5 million people has reported 22 coronavirus deaths.
On June 8, when Ardern announced that all restrictions would be lifted, almost 40,000 tests in the previous 17 days hadn't yielded a single positive result.Since June, the country has been almost back to normal -- and there hasn't been a need to return to lockdown. New Zealand also coupled the lockdown with tight border restrictions. Only citizens are allowed to enter the country, and they must spend two weeks in a government-approved facility.
