But at the start of July, New Zealand closed its borders to its own citizens too, in response to an accelerating influx of citizens fleeing coronavirus outbreaks overseas. Since New Zealand went into lockdown in March, nearly 27,000 people have gone through managed isolation and quarantine. The nation of five million, a similar population to Ireland, has recorded just under 2,000 cases of Covid-19, and 22 deaths.
Australia has been relatively unscathed by the Covid-19 crisis. With a population of 25 million, it’s had a total of 12,069 cases . A gradual reopening of Japan’s borders is due to take place, but will prioritise countries with which Japan has strong cultural ties: Vietnam, Thailand, Australia, New Zealand, and Taiwan, for example.
Malta, with a population of 440,000, has had a total of 677 cases and 9 deaths. It has carried out over 113,000 tests – a quarter of its population.
