NZ stamps out COVID-19 for the second time: UC Expert says we can’t let our guard down

A new article from the New York Times discusses how New Zealand has stamped out the COVID19 virus for a second time.
They spoke to University of Canterbury Engineering Professor Michael Plank who said, “We need to be really careful not to let our guard down. We think we’ve got a high chance now that we’ve eliminated community transmission of the virus. But that doesn’t mean it won’t come back.”
