Kathmandu, Aug 17. New Zealand prime minister Jacinda Ardern and her government decided to put the entire nation into lockdown as a single case of coronavirus was reported in Auckland.

Ardern said, “We have seen what happens elsewhere if we fail to get on top of it. We only get one chance.”

The lockdown, which is initially ordered for at least three days for the whole nation, will be for seven days in Auckland. It has forced citizens to stock up essentials and has also reduced the value of the New Zealand dollar.

Amongst the population of New Zealand, 32% of people have had at least one shot and 18% are fully vaccinated. The lockdown will come into effect from mid-night Tuesday.
