PM Jacinda Ardern taken further steps to protect New Zealand from COVID-19 You’ve probably heard that today we’ve taken further steps to protect New Zealand from COVID-19. Below is an update on what this means for you and your family. As usual, if you have questions, please add them in the comments and I’ll do my best to address them in my next update. In the meantime, head to covid19.govt.nz for the most up to date information. A warning: it’s another long post. I’ll go into more detail below, but there are four things I wanted to draw your attention to this evening: 1. From 11:59pm tonight (Thursday), all non-residents and non-citizens will be effectively stopped from boarding a plane to New Zealand. New Zealand citizens and residents, their partners and their children will be able to return home, but tourists or temporary visa holders such as students or temporary workers will not be able to enter New Zealand 2. On Monday, we announced gatherings and event

Marianne Williamson Latest News I’m not normally the kind of person who posts pictures of my food, as anyone who knows me would attest. But what I’ll start doing now is posting pictures of where I am. I’m hunkered down with a dear friend whose apartment I happened to be visiting when the coronavirus craziness exploded a few days ago. I had been planning to fly back to Des Moines to pack up for a move to DC, but now such travel is on hold as we all know. Meanwhile, my friend is someone I have known for over 30 years, a godfather to my daughter, and he has generously suggested I remain at his place for now. He is an interior designer and his home is beautiful. He has such an eye for beauty that even a bowl of tomatoes at his house looks like a work of art to me. But it’s more than that going on now, of course. I’m feeling the same things everyone else is feeling, and deeply aware that not everyone has the support of friends and family where they are now, much less are in a beau

Canada PM Justin Trudeau Latest Update on Covid-19 As COVID-19 continues to spread, we are taking every precaution to minimize the health, economic, and social impacts of the virus in Canada. And today, we announced a billion-dollar COVID-19 Response Fund to address the impacts of the virus on our country and to keep you safe. This fund will provide money to the provinces and territories to support our health care system. That’s more money for surgical masks, face shields, testing, and equipment they need to address the outbreak. It will also help fund vaccine development and support clinical trials. On the economic front, we know the virus is having a disruptive impact on businesses, and on workers. No one should have to worry about their job if they have to be quarantined, and no employer should feel like they have to lay off a worker because of COVID-19. So to support workers, we will waive the mandatory one-week waiting period for Employment Insurance sickness benefi

Finland Prime Minister Sanna Marin Latest Update on Coronavirus The government's five will meet tomorrow to deal with the additional measures necessary to control the spread of coronavirus and protect risk groups. The government is meeting on Monday. In addition, I have launched the preparation of the Preparedness Act implementing regulation so that the regulation can be adopted quickly if necessary. The readiness law will not be discussed by the government on Monday. But we are prepared for anything. In difficult and rapidly changing circumstances, it is important that the key parties are informed about the situation and the actions of the government. We met with all parliamentary parties on Thursday and I have also discussed the situation with the president of the Republic and the President of Parliament. In addition to the disease, the wrong information is now spreading in society. I will be organizing regular current reports for the media next week. It is im

NZ PM Jacinda Ardern Press Briefing on Covid-19 Another long but important update on COVID-19. You may have seen that today we announced a range of major steps to further protect the health of New Zealanders and reduce the threat of transmission of COVID-19. Below is what I said at the announcement, but if you’re short on time, the top things to note are: 1. We have increased New Zealand’s border restrictions. This now means that anyone entering New Zealand from any country aside from the Pacific Islands (listed below) is required to self-isolate for 14 days on arrival. This decision will mean New Zealand will have some of the widest ranging and toughest border restrictions in the world. 2. We also announced a temporary ban on all cruise ships coming into New Zealand. This will be in place from midnight tonight until at least 30 June 2020. 3. New border restrictions apply to people, not products. We will be working to ensure we keep freight routes open fo
