New Zealand on track to eliminate coronavirus 'ahead of schedule'
PM says nation could move to lower restrictions sooner than planned New Zealand’s government will consider a move to lift all Covid-19 restrictions except border controls after Jacinda Ardern, the prime minister, said an early lockdown of the country was on track to eliminate the virus “ahead of schedule.” “Our strategy of going hard and early has paid off, in some cases beyond expectations and what modelling and data had predicted,” Ardern told reporters in the capital, Wellington, on Tuesday. Her comments came as health officials announced an 11th straight day of no new Covid-19 cases recorded in New Zealand. It also increases the likelihood that New Zealand could jettison physical distancing measures entirely as early as next week, while other nations struggle to contain the coronavirus. Only one person in New Zealand is still recovering from Covid-19 and they are not being treated in hospital, 22 people have died. Ardern had earlier promised that her cabinet would consider by 22 June a move to the most relaxed suite of coronavirus rules, known as “level 1” restrictions, but she said on Tuesday that a decision would instead be made next Monday 8 June, providing there were no “unexpected” cases of Covid-19 recorded before then. If her government decides to further relax the rules, the move happen as early as next Wednesday. Advertisement While she has not detailed exactly what the so-called “level 1” alert entails, Ardern said on Tuesday that it would likely involve abandoning any remaining rules limiting gathering sizes or requiring physical distancing, meaning that life would largely return to normal. |

New study insists couples must wear facemasks during sex. |
Also no oral-to-anal activities. Almost not worth it to bother having s#x anymore |
Best news ever! Been watching the news and apparently it’s not even worth mentioning anymore! So I guess we’re in the clear? |
Not trying at all to be negative on the uplifting thread, but we are not in the clear unfortunately. An uptick in new cases is expected (there are many articles as well as news stories about this) and a 2nd wave has always been discussed as likely.
