Wall Street Journal: “New Zealand placed its largest city, Auckland, into lockdown for seven days following the first case of Covid-19 in the community since February. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said officials are assuming the new Covid-19 case is the more contagious Delta variant of the virus, given its global spread. Genetic sequencing that would confirm or disprove that assumption will be available Wednesday. ‘Going hard and early has worked for us before,’ Ms. Ardern told a press conference. ‘While we know that Delta is a more dangerous enemy to combat, the same actions that overcame the virus last year can be applied to beat it again.'”
