NPR New Zealand Now Has Just 1 Active COVID-19 Case

[Botany]

New Zealand is now down to only one active COVID-19 case, reaching a new level of success in its fight against the coronavirus. The last time a new case was reported in the country was more than a week ago; no one is currently hospitalized with the disease caused by the coronavirus.

The news came on the same day that the country further eased its restrictions on the public. It will now permit gatherings of up to 100 people — clearing the way for weddings, parties, funerals and other large events. Restaurants can also host up to 100 people, as long as safety protocols are followed.

The prime minister is credited with taking decisive and early action to minimize the coronavirus's impact on her country.

That system worked well, allowing New Zealand to permit businesses and schools to reopen earlier this month.

Worldwide, the four countries with the highest numbers of confirmed cases are the U.S. — with more than 1.7 million cases — followed by Brazil, Russia and the United Kingdom.

2. And they used the WHO's test kits for C-19 so they could test for and trace the disease

The same test kits that Trump rejected. I wonder on how he is going to blame Obama
for that?

BTW my county, (Fanklin ...Columbus, OH) is closing in on 6,000 cases and 275 deaths
