"It has been 100 days since the last case of Covid-19 was acquired locally from an unknown source." Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern earlier today said 100 days would be a milestone, but it didn't minimise the risk in any way, given the ongoing pandemic around the world. “Achieving 100 days without community transmission is a significant milestone, however, as we all know, we can't afford to be complacent," he said today.
