New Zealand will make household contacts of Covid cases isolate for 24 days under harsh new rules brought in to combat an impending Omicron outbreak.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has brought in the strict measures as the country battles to stay Covid Zero despite the threat of the highly contagious mutant strain.

But critics say the lengthy quarantine period is 'unworkable' and will lead people to avoid getting tested.

Anyone infected with Covid is now required to isolate for 14 days, up from 10 days under the new interim rules.

Household contacts must then stay in quarantine for a further 10 days, stretching the time alone out to three and a half weeks.

Omicron is very likely to be the ultimate vaccine. It probably spells the end of the pandemic.

Of course, New Zealand is free to destroy their economy due to nanny state fear porn.

Lost a lot of respect for New Zealand.

Remember the articles and news stories from the MSM back in 2020 on how Australia and New Zeland defeated COVID and how Orange Man is bad for not taking their lead?

Good times

I watched a new video by Jordan Peterson last week.
He said "Our response to the pandemic has caused more death and misery than the pandemic itself."

For a fricking cold.

At this point, they pretty much need to start instituting this stuff for the FLU also because Omicron isn't even as bad as the normal FLU has been in some years.

Just like people that are still wearing masks willingly, these fascist countries are easy to identify and avoid going forward. I’ve always dreamed of going to Australia and New Zealand. Not anymore.

And all we had to do was suffer 800k+ excess deaths to get to this point.

For a country with almost no natural immunity that may not turn out to be the case.
