The second wave of the virus hit New Zealand in August in the city of Auckland, where the population of the city went back into a strict lockdown for just under three weeks.

Lastly the country has 40 active cases in a population of 5 million. The country has strict entry laws, and everyone will receive a COVID-19 test upon arrival. Travellers will have to quarantine for fourteen days as a preventative, just in case you have the virus but symptoms have not shown yet.

Hopefully they can maintain their numbers like they have done, and continue with their normal lives.  For more up-to-date news from around the world, visit the Euro Weekly News website.
