Covid-19

 'We still have to be careful' was what the prime minister said on Monday the 27th of April. This was when we went down to alert level 3. I believe the lockdown is working because there are less cases every day. There have only been 19 deaths in New Zealand. There have only been 3 cases in Gisborne. Also the amount of people that are recovering from the virus is amazing.       


 There have only been 19 deaths in New Zealand. All of the deaths have been elderlies and already had health issues. Canterbury is where the most deaths have been, the virus had got into two retirement villages. All the people that have died  from the Coronavirus were all 70 years and up, also they all had health issues. I reckon there would have been a lot more deaths in New Zealand right now if we hadn't gone into lockdown. So 19 deaths is not as bad as you think"touch wood".                                   


There are only three cases in Gisborne. The three people that unfortunately got the virus have all recovered, which is a relief. The reason we got the virus in our city was because a man brought it from overseas. He was just trying to get back home,but accidentally brought it home with him. A Lot of other cities have the Coronavirus lurking around, like Queenstown lakes, they have a lot. So we are lucky that we have only had three cases.                                                                                           


The amount of people that have recovered. In New Zealand we have had 1469 cases and 1180 have recovered. So that means there are only 270 people in New Zealand right now. We have had 5 more cases today, the 1st of May Friday 2020. 3.25M people in the world have or had the virus. But 1.01M people have recovered. Which means that there are more people that have it than the amount of people that have recovered. But New Zealand is a bit different as more people have recovered, which is good.


After we went into the lockdown there have been less cases every day in New Zealand. In the facts above, we know that there are a lot more that have recovered, and less deaths since we went into lockdown. "We are now on alert level 3 but still act like we are level 4" said the prime minister. We have to make sure we still follow the rules to stop the spread of Coronavirus.
