On January 16, the island nation of New Zealand held a 20,000- individual outside show where participants neither had to use face masks nor observe social distancing measures.
Before Six60’s show, the country had hosted numerous New Year’s Eve music festivals that also had massive crowds, including Rhythm and Vines, Rhythm & Alps and the Northern Bass celebrations, each held in different parts of the nation, according to NME.

Now marks the second prolonged time duration in which New Zealand has avoided any community infections among its population of almost 5 million individuals. The country first achieved 3 months without any brand-new infections from June to August 2020.
During the six-week lockdown, the nation’s leading officials rapidly closed its borders to any non-citizens and required any New Zealander returning from foreign travel to self-quarantine.
New Zealand is one of simply 27 nations that have mainly tamed the COVID-19 pandemic, according to EndCoronavirus.org, a self-described worldwide volunteer coalition of over 4,000 researchers and other community stakeholders. The union operates under the New England Complex Systems Institute, an independent American research institution and think tank focused on applying analytics to social problems.
As of December 19, the 26 other nations are Australia, Bahamas, Bhutan, Brunei, Cambodia, Djibouti, Dominica, Fiji, Holy See, Iceland, Laos, Liechtenstein, Marshall Islands, Mauritius, Monaco, Mongolia, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Samoa, San Marino, Solomon Islands, Somalia, Sudan, Taiwan, Timor-Leste, Trinidad and Tobago, Vanuatu and Vietnam.
EndCoronavirus.org considers a nation as having actually tamed COVID if it hasn’t had any brand-new regional transmissions for 14 consecutive days and no land borders shared with another nation that has a high infection rate.
