The objective of this project is to be aware and analize how New Zealand has dealt with Covid-19.

It is important to know what other countries have done with this situation, because this virus seems to not be ending anytime soon, so it is something we must learn how to live with. This project may be a guide to us and what mesaures take as citizens and future professors.
New Zealand is in fact, an Island and has a population of almost 5 millions people. Actually, there are more sheep than humans in the country.
In this project we analized the effect that Covid-19 have had in New Zealand's economy, education and health system, and how they have delt with it.

Active case: Confirmed cases are people that have been tested, and the test confirms they have COVID-19.
Active case - probable: A probable case is when someone is diagnosed based on their exposure to other people with COVID-19 and on their symptoms.
In managed facilities: In managed isolation or quarantine facilities; hospitalization not needed.
Recovered: Recovered cases are people who had the virus, where at least 10 days have passed since their symptoms started and they have not had symptoms for 72 hours, and they have been cleared by the health professional responsible for their monitoring.

Number of people infected: 2.181
Death toll: 25
Number of people recovered:2084

On 23 March 2020, New Zealand committed to an elimination strategy in response to the coronavirus disease pandemic.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced that on 26 March, New Zealand would commence an intense lockdown of the country (the highest level of a four‐level response framework).
An elimination strategy requires highly functioning public health infrastructure. Similar to many other countries, NZ has supplemented traditional approaches with newer tools, such as the use of digital technology to speed up contact tracing.
Additional surveillance approaches can be used to provide increased assurance of elimination. However, even in the presence of a highly sophisticated surveillance system, transmission will continue if isolation and quarantine adherence is suboptimal.

The schools are open and must operate safely, and all children and staff should be at school.
The only people who will need to stay away are:

Those required to self-isolate
Individuals who health authorities have asked to stay away while waiting for a test result
And children, students and staff who are unwell.

And if a child or a staff member is sick, they should stay home. If they have cold or flu symptoms they should call their doctor or Healthline.

The temporary closure of industries means that goods and services cannot be produced, which impacts the country's GDP (Gross Domestic Product).
General manufacturing resumed, but productivity was limited to 90 percent due to distance requirements.
Food and accommodation services have resumed to varying degrees, for example, food stores and some restaurants are able to deliver, but the distance requirements in commercial kitchens will reduce production and affect the country's economy.
The retail trade of non-essential items could be resumed, but only without contact and with the required distance, people have decided to buy online, so in that way the economy hasn't been reduced too much

The official unemployment rate in New Zealand increased from 4% to 5.3% in the three months from July to September.

On March 17, 2020, the government announced an initial financial assistance of $12.1 billion to help the country economically and also to combat COVID-19. As the situation changed, the amount of money was increased.
The government pledged NZ$62 billion in fiscal support to protect jobs, while the central bank has reduced interest rates and made long-term lending more flexible.
On August 21, the government announced a new two-week wage subsidy for companies that suffered income losses of up to 40 percent between August 12 and September 10.

New Zealand's small, non-federated health system proved responsive, including rapid test development and early reprioritisation of health-care services, with readiness probably facilitated by delay in the first case arriving due to border measures. The New Zealand health system detected on time a low proportion of asymptomatic infections.
The New Zealand health system has taken measures to advise the population if they find themselves in any of these situations: how to access health care, mental wellness, sexual and family violence prevention, and at-risk counseling

New Zealand is for sure, one of the countries that have better-faced Covid-19. They have had a low amount of infected people in many months. and their government has shown a real concern for their citizens.

As Chileans, we are really impressed with how New Zealand has prepared and faced Covid-19. Their government and citizens have really given it the importance it deserves. The people have been really obedient. They took the needed measures at the right time. On the other hand, Chile took to long to start organizing what to do and how to face the virus, and the people have not been conscious about quarantine and social distancing plus the measures that the Chilean government has implemented are not that strong either in comparison to New Zealand, they went into lockdown the moment people started to get infected and here in Chile the lockdown started like a month after the first infections and by that time the disease had already spread to a point of no return.
