yes this is the model that new zealand's followed as part of its elimination strategy and it has been very effective at minimizing the number of cases and you see in a number of d.s. it's also been very good karma because we've had very little time and a lot over the last year are we saying this case of the u.k. variant somehow managed to get into the country from the u.k. or is that just a label that we're applying to this particular case. well our main defense now is of course a very tight border quarantine system so to come into new zealand and we're still having more than $10000.00 people a month coming in through our border facilities but people spend 2 weeks in quarantine and have 2 or 3 cope with shifts before the allowed into the country but this system is good but it's not perfect and we have had the art ok tional small outbreaks look to the border and we assume that this current outbreak which now includes 14 cases is related to the border somehow every case new zealand has its genome sequence examined and this cluster is a work cases of the one seed and. miriam's and that m

the rest of new zealand will move to level two., dr suzie wiles, from the university of auckland. she told me the case is connected to a small cluster that broke out a few weeks ago. it is part of a wider cluster so about two weeks ago we had a three—day lockdown after a couple of cases were detected. and that ran, we thought it was under control and got to around 11 cases in three families and then another case appeared yesterday so this is now our fourth family and at the time that this lockdown was cold it was not clear whether it was linked to the first three families but also we knew that the person had been infectious for probably about a week and has been outliving their life. so we think there may well be quite a bit of transmission that may have happened and so that is what has led to our latest restrictions. we say that every time you speak it every time we crossed to new zealand. to other countries were used to so many more cases, these restrictions seem very strict indeed for a relatively small outbreak. yes, well, we k
