An Irish couple stranded in New Zealand have said they have been left “totally in limbo” due to the coronavirus pandemic. Ms Boland resigned from her job last week after her partner lost his job, and the couple had decided to return to Ireland. However, Ms Boland was informed she was in contact with a person who potentially had coronavirus and that she and her partner should self-isolate. “There’s literally no flights, any flights are either crazy prices or there’s a lot of confusion about where you can transit through,” Ms Boland told The Irish Times. New Zealand goes into full lockdown from tomorrow, which means that all non-essential businesses are closed,” Ms Boland added.
