Senior Journalists disagrees with reason behind NZ PM’s decision

New Zealand: The increasing cases of corona in India have put other countries in tension as well. New Zealand has temporarily suspended the entry of people coming from India because of the horrendous outbreak of Coronavirus cases.

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern temporarily banned all passengers arriving from India from 11 to April 28. Apart from this, Ardern has also prohibited the return of citizens of his country from India for the time being. This decision was made on MIQ. 

According to the information, Cases in New Zealand’s regulated isolation and quarantine (MIQ) amenities have grown from two or three a day to four to five a day for the seven-day rolling average.

Astonishingly a journalist declared a statement on the PM’s announcement. Senior Political Reporter Marc Daalder stated, “Contrary to what one might think from today’s declaration, this is not the first surge of this scale that we’ve had in MIQ. The 7-day rolling average of new MIQ coronavirus cases peaked on January 13. Chart image below and interactive chart here:
