Hundreds of kiwis queued up to receive their first dose of McDonald's within a few weeks after the level 4 coronavirus restrictions in New Zealand were relaxed.
The New Zealanders came out of isolation and went straight to McDonald's yesterday when the country relaxed its coronavirus restrictions after a successful five-week quarantine.
Yes, after almost five weeks with maximum level four restrictions, in which only essential services were in progress, the country changed to level three on Monday evening.
The New Zealand government lifted the most extreme measures in response to COVID-19 yesterday after Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said the country had won the fight against the Community-wide transmission of the coronavirus.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern congratulated the New Zealanders for their "incredible work" in "breaking the virus transmission chain", which has allowed the country to lower its highest alert level 4 to a lower level 3.
For many kiwis, this meant a return to work five weeks after Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern's "First War" ended, which was credited with a first-rate response to COVID-19.
McDonald's can be delivered in addition to the chauffeur service via a limited number of menu items, including favorites such as Big Macs, Quarter Pounders, Cheeseburgers and Happy Meals.
It should be noted that of the 170 McDonald's restaurants in the country, 137 were eligible to operate under the Level 3 alarm restrictions.
Coffee lovers also revelled in in barista-brewed beverages after more than a month without any form of takeaway or restaurant food.
Schools will also be reopening today Wednesday, but authorities expect visitor numbers to remain extremely low as the vast majority of students from the South Pacific remain at home.
In addition, the borders between Australia and New Zealand could soon be reopened as part of a "travel bubble" plan discussed between Ardern and Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison.
It should also be noted that New Zealand has only had 1,124 confirmed cases and 19 deaths, including only two new cases in the past 24 hours after it acted quickly to impose a blockade in March.
Overall, change is critical for companies as many industries have been marginalized in the past month.
We hope that this change will be positive as we hope that water will return worldwide and we also extend our sincere condolences to all who have lost their loved ones.
