New Zealand cricketer James Neesham on Monday congratulated the citizens of his country as the last COVID-19 case recovered and now the nation has no active cases.
As of Monday, New Zealand had no active COVID-19 cases and hadn’t recorded a new infection for 17 days.
The last case of the virus spreading from an unknown source – a previously used definition of community transmission – occurred on April 30, according to data published by the Government’s Environment Science and Research institute (ESR), reports stuff.co.nz.
“Coronavirus free NZ! Congratulations everyone. Once again those great kiwi attributes: planning, determination and teamwork do the job,” Neesham said in a tweet.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has announced New Zealand will move from midnight Monday to alert level 1 under which life returns almost to normal, though border restrictions remain in force.
After the latest announcement, sports fans again will be able to fill stadiums in New Zealand.
At a news conference, Ardern said alert level 1 means that public events can take place “without limitation,” including sports events.
