From the beginning of the pandemic, New Zealand maintained strict protocols, shut their borders, brought in compulsory quarantine, and did everything possible to prevent the virus from spreading. They succeeded, the reason why they are mask-free.

Border closure, snap lockdowns and effective health measures have made Australia one of the world’s most successful countries in curbing the pandemic. As per records, they have reported 29,500 infections and 910 deaths. Australia’s Prime Minister Scott Morrison said, “Australia is in no hurry to open those borders, I assure you. I will not be putting at risk the way we are living in this country which is so different from the rest of the world today.”
