Introduction antoniacalzadilla1901 https://padlet.com/bertaretamal1901/krdjo7e0kaj3t7bu/wish/1065911109 New Zeland is one of the countries that has been able to cope in the best possible way with the Covid-19, its government has been distinguished because of its efficacy in controlling the number of infected people with this virus and for its project to return to the school system. We think it’s important to investigate this nowadays because that way people stay informed about how people in other countries in dealing with this terrible virus. That’s why the objective of our project is to provide information about Covid-19 in New Zealand, including the statics, some measures implemented, and the effects of this in the government (education, economy, health system) and on people’s lives.]]> 2021-01-08 03:13:03 UTC https://padlet.com/bertaretamal1901/krdjo7e0kaj3t7bu/wish/1065911109 6.

Education effects. antoniacalzadilla1901 https://padlet.com/bertaretamal1901/krdjo7e0kaj3t7bu/wish/1069066610 Certainly the panademic has had multiples effects on the education system of New Zeland. Once schools and unversities were closed the government did some surveys to know if students had a mean to connect and internet conection, and also to know if students had a place at home to join to the classes. Both surveys were succesful and show that more of the 80% of the students has access to what the goverment was asking for, so they solve these problems and start with the online-educaion. One of the things that made this process was that most of the teachers already used ICT tools in on-site education, so at the moment of change it to online-education, it wasn’t much complex for them.]]> 2021-01-09 00:11:08 UTC https://padlet.com/bertaretamal1901/krdjo7e0kaj3t7bu/wish/1069066610 2.

Effects on Economy emiliosandoval1901 https://padlet.com/bertaretamal1901/krdjo7e0kaj3t7bu/wish/1070680607 Like the rest of the world, at the beginning of the pandemic, New Zealand had to face the closure of the commerce, just opening the essential for the community (supermarkets, gas stations and drugstores). In April, 
The Prime Minister of New Zealand cuts her salary by 20% due to the COVID-19 crisis and also all the members of the New Zealand Government will see their remuneration reduced by the same percentage in recognition of the sacrifices of citizens for the containment measures decreed.
In June, shops, stores, gyms and playgrounds were reopened. Meetings of families and friends of up to 10 people are allowed. Schools are gradually opening their doors and companies must ensure the distance between employees, as well as tables in bars and restaurants.
With no doubts, tourism were the most decreased rubric; the country is an island and they closed totally for tourists.
Most of the funds were used to maintain jobs with subsidies to companies, in addition to direct payments on pensions and aid to face payments for services such as electricity. Taxes were also lowered. In January, the Labor government had already approved another similar package to relaunch the economy, given the incipient global recession.

Conclusion antoniacalzadilla1901 https://padlet.com/bertaretamal1901/krdjo7e0kaj3t7bu/wish/1072027699 As it was analyzed New Zealand is one of the most developed countries in the world. The measures they have taken to fight against Covid-19 has been very effective, not only because of the measures they took but also because of how they prepare schools and universities and also because of how the health system respond to this virus. In comparison with Chile, the measures have functioned better than the ones we have here because New Zealand’s government has a greater organization for their people and also because it’s a first-world country, which means they have better resources to implement measures. But one thing that both countries have in common is that their doctors and nurses have struggled to protect people from this virus.]]> 2021-01-10 19:50:03 UTC https://padlet.com/bertaretamal1901/krdjo7e0kaj3t7bu/wish/1072027699 5.
