New Zealand is one of the few countries still seeking to stamp Covid out. Many believe the upsides are worth it. 'Lockdown feels like a very small price to pay for the amount of freedom and safety for the community that will come after,' one woman said.
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.
