New Zealand has lifted almost all of its coronavirus restrictions after reporting no active cases in the country.

At midnight local time (12:00 GMT), all of New Zealand moved to level one, the lowest of a four-tier alert system.

Under new rules, social distancing is not required and there are no limits on public gatherings, but borders remain closed to foreigners.

New Zealand has reported no new Covid-19 cases for more than two weeks.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern told reporters she did "a little dance" when she was told the country no longer had any active virus cases.

"While we're in a safer, stronger position, there's still no easy path back to pre-Covid life, but the determination and focus we have had on our health response will now be vested in our economic rebuild," Ms Ardern said.

"While the job is not done, there is no denying this is a milestone. So can I finish with a very simple, 'Thank you, New Zealand'."

I saw very early on that female-led countries were handling the virus at a much higher success rate.

Once again, I'm embarrassed to be American.

Huh??? I'm confused. We've been in level one for weeks (I think over a month) already :confused:  I literally went clubbing 2 weeks ago. and we just had multiple overseas travellers break out and escape from their quarantine and go out into public, at least one of which tested positive. I thought we were all collectively holding our breath right now that we don't have another outbreak? What am I missing here?

I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin.

Didn't they do this a few weeks ago and then they had outbreaks again. It is way too soon for them to be so sure that they have eradicated this disease. You can never be sure unless you tested every single person over the course of at least a few months. I think a suppression strategy is more realistic. 

EDIT: The article is from a month ago.
