Covid 19 In New Zealand

1. My family

2. Covid 19 in Gisborne

3. NZ compared to other countries

On the 23rd of March our prime minister, Jacinda Ardern announced

that NZ would be going into stage 4 lockdown on Wednesday night.

I strongly agree that it was a good idea to go into lockdown because

New Zealand in my opinion is doing reasonably well.

If Jacinda Ardern hadn't of put us into lock down it could have

spread quicker

and doubled the cases. At the moment NZ only has 1,149 cases. In

Gisborne there is only one case that is very low. New Zealand is

doing really well and the cases are low and hopefully it stays that way.

In my family there are 6 us in a 90 square meter house.

Staying in the same place for

8 weeks was a struggle. I started to go crazy after 3 weeks and the

fact that we had to go in lock down for another month after the first

month ended made me mad. But we were staying home for a good

reason so it didn't matter if I was going crazy. Everytime when I sat

on my couch I could see quite a lot of cars go by but I'll get to that in

the next paragraph. My older brothers kept annoying me for no reason

and I just wanted them to disappear for a little while. My sister and I

would go for a walk everyday and my brothers would go for a run

everyday. One day we would go for a short walk and the next day

we would go for a long walk.

Gisborne is doing quite well. I guess it helps a tiny bit that Gisborne

isn't huge but I don't think that's the main reason. The main reason

Gisborne is doing well is because of the 40,000 people who are

staying in doors. Even though I said that I saw a lot of cars go past

the lounge window Gisborne still appears to be doing well. But I live

on one of the main roads, Ormond Road. But I don't think there were

a lot of cars because they needed stuff I think it's because people

thought the world was ending and they needed to get supplies.

That's only my opinion. Maybe it's just that a lot of people needed

stuff on the same day. 

The whole of New Zealand is doing really well compared to other

countries. The United States Of America have 1.52 million confirmed

cases of Covid 19. Around 281K people have recovered from

Covid 19 in America. In Mainland China there are 82,947 cases

confirmed. 78,227 have recovered from Covid 19 in Mainland

China. Australia which is one of the most nearest countries from

New Zealand has 7,086 Covid 19 cases. 6,367 have recovered

from Australia.

Hopefully some of the information I wrote has made you think

it was a good idea for Jacinda Ardern to put New Zealand in

lock down. And you might have learned something new from

this. Also in New Zealand 1,433 people have recovered

from Covid 19.
