Btw I learned of it, as did most Kiwis, via email—the NZ govt sent out a mass alert this afternoon Email included reminders to mask, wash hands, distance, etc Included mental health phone numbers and links to info posters that can be printed + posted in public and workplaces
For those who don't know, NZ has been mostly Covid-free for more than a year The govt here went hard and fast with a massive and early lockdown, got atop the virus, hardened borders and set up hotel quarantine that has generally worked very well Life here has been nearly normal
Fingers crossed for us both
You get such a hug next time I see you 
NZ also has national QR code system posted on virtually every building, mode of transport, etc Also constant nat'l messaging re vaccines and health measures despite the relative safety Messaging has a uniform yellow/black colour scheme, instantly recognisable English and Maoripic.twitter.com/juHiHRBZnM
The QR codes are utterly ubiquitous — here's a completely ordinary train in Auckland Masking has also remained mandatory on public transit (decreasingly obeyed; about 50-50, six months after the last case), just in case there's an outbreak in a city Like today, for examplepic.twitter.com/MvZo1YXxiu
TV ads for vaccination — which has been slow here — have been positive and constant, using the same colour scheme Constant announcements of which group of people has become eligible, how to get jabbed, etcpic.twitter.com/TnDBmk8Szu
Here's the get-vaxxed ad New Zealand has been running Note how positive, inclusive, hopeful, and *fun* this ishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcIQATtAkS0 …
PM Ardern now addressing the nation, tosses to doctor Just hours after *one* case was found Goal is return to zero-Covid ASAP by going hard Assuming case is Delta; will know tomorrow Infectious period goes back 5 days (fucking Delta) No clear link to border. Bad
Btw this is the prime minister of the country and her sign language translator
The translator isn't an afterthought but half the screen
Normal in many countries but still rare in too many
Note the Covid-coloured messaging again, too
