Anti-covid restrictions force New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern to postpone her wedding

“I am no different from thousands of other New Zealanders who have had far more devastating impacts from the pandemic,” Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said.

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, affirmed this Sunday that he has had to cancel his own wedding due to the restrictions that his Government has imposed to stop the expansion of the omicron variant of covid-19.

“My wedding will not take place,” he said at a press conference, without revealing the exact date on which the link was planned. “I am no different from thousands of other New Zealanders who have had much more devastating impacts from the pandemicThe most disheartening of which is not being able to be with a loved one when they are sick. That far outweighs the sadness I feel.”

The Government of Arden will impose from next midnight stricter rules on the use of the mask and the limitation of people in events before the appearance of an outbreak of nine cases of the omicron variant after a wedding.

Bars, restaurants and events such as weddings will have a maximum influx of 100 people (25 if the covid passport is not required), which forces the prime minister herself to cancel her link.

94% of New Zealanders over the age of 12 have received two doses of the covid-19 vaccine, while 56% have received a third booster dose.

New Zealand, which will keep its borders closed to foreign travelers until April 2022, fIt was one of the countries that acted earlier and more forcefully against covid-19 Y It has managed to keep the number of infections at around 15,550 and the number of deaths at 52.

However, in October, it abandoned the strategy of zero cases due to the increase in vaccination and adopted a “traffic light” system, which consists of various levels of alert and restrictions that can be applied by areas. (I)
