Very well. For three months no community infections, now only one cluster of infections caught early. We demonstrated to the world a liberal democracy can halt community transmission of the virus without draconian measures, hyperbole notwithstanding.
For three months we managed a quarantine, infected people arriving to NZ and only now has that been breached, resulting in a single cluster we've managed to catch early on. All evidence so far suggesting we'll contain this again.
Businesses in New Zealand are going to have to contend with a sharp global recession and they're going to have to adapt to business occasionally facing these restrictions. My bet is the recession is going to be the larger problem we'll face.
