New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says the country’s general election will be postponed by a month after a COVID-19 outbreak in the capital prompted a lockdown and constrained political campaigning.
Around a third of New Zealand’s 5 million voters were put under lockdown in Auckland last week after a surge of infections put an end to a 102-day stretch without any known community transmission of the disease caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, also known as the novel coronavirus.
