Covid-19: A year since New Zealand's first reported case

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

Hi neighbours,

It's been one year today since New Zealand's first reported case of Covid-19.

A person in their 60s flew from Iran via Bali and touched down in Aotearoa on February 26, 2020.

Two days later, that person's test came back positive for Covid-19.

Later, a historical case emerged โ€“ a visitor to the Waikato who became ill with symptoms consistent with Covid-19 on or about February 21.

The past year has been incredible, turbulent and unprecedented.

How do you think New Zealand has done with its response to the pandemic?

What do you think we have done well as a nation to combat Covid-19?

What could we have done better to ward off the virus?

What have you learned from the pandemic?

*Please put NFP if you do not want your comments used by Stuff.

Poll: Should NZ go Cash Less?

Weston & Associates Ltd Chartered Accountants

With more and more transactions now electronic and many businesses starting to go cash less, do we need cash anymore?

Even market stalls have eftpos these days.

Notes and coins cost the government to produce and update.
There are added security issues when handling cash in businesses and also added costs of banking large sums.

Money laundering and those working "under the table" could be reduced or eliminated. What do you think?
