New Zealand in lockdown as UK COVID-19 variant outbreak reported
A coronavirus outbreak that sent New Zealand's biggest city into a snap lockdown over the weekend involved the more transmissible UK variant, health officials confirmed on Monday, the first time the strain has been detected locally.
New Zealand’s Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern confirmed on Monday that the more transmissible UK COVID-19 variant was found among the latest outbreak of cases, which caused a city-wide lockdown over the weekend.
It’s the first time the strain has been detected locally.
“I can share that with you now. Late last night we received from ESR, our testing lab, the results of the genome sequencing. Now that's telling us we were right to take the decision we did, it is the UK variant, for those who follow these things closely, B1.1.7. That is the one that's been reported as being more transmissible."
On Sunday, Auckland's nearly 2 million residents were plunged into a three-day lockdown when three new COVID-19 cases were detected in the city.
Two of those cases were the U.K. variant.
Authorities said the source of the cases remains unknown.
Auckland’s lockdown is New Zealand’s first in six months.
The last lockdown appeared to have largely eliminated local transmission, ranking the country as the best in the world at containing the virus in an Australian data index of almost 100 countries.
The weekend’s outbreak burst a travel bubble with Australia, which would have suspended the mandated 14-day quarantine for New Zealand travellers.
New Zealand's health department said on Monday there were no new community cases, but five in managed isolation facilities.

Jacinta is a horse faced tranny
They have not even isoltaed the original strain so how can they claim there is a variant?
Just more bullshit
My penis got the no straight varient and it is in quarene. My wife is delighted.
New Zealand is a fucking shit hole! But don't get me wrong, it's not the environmental disasters like MV Rena, Pike River, or the rahui on toxic shellfish and toxic honey that put me off, not the proliferation of crystal meth and gang violence, nor the senseless murder of tourists e.g. Höglin, Paakkonen, Pytlickova, Kim, Milane and Aim - no, it's the fucking Kiwi Hobbits themselves who are as dumb as rocks, and serioulsy suffer from identity crisis! Avoid!
Well done people of New Zealand! You got a fucking winner there, didn't you? Do you guys happen to have dominion vote counters?
