Delta outbreak tests New Zealand's zero Covid strategy -- but lockdown has broad support at home
CNN
When New Zealand went into lockdown last week over a single Delta case, critics were quick to mock the country's risk-averse approach.
British newspapers didn't hold back. The Times called New Zealand a "mysterious socialist hermit nation" where the public "languish in a Covid prison," while The Telegraph slammed a once-welcoming country that had turned into an "isolated dystopia." The reaction to New Zealand's approach speaks to a divide on how countries across the world are handling Covid. More than 18 months into the pandemic, some countries, including the United Kingdom, have accepted they may never eliminate the virus -- so instead, they're learning to live with it.
