新西兰病例清零了! 6月8日,卫生部证实,在连续17天零新增后,随着最后一个病例的痊愈,新西兰目前全境活跃病例数为零。 


从出现首例确诊病例,到病例数清零,历时3个多月。至此, 新西兰在对抗新冠病毒中取得里程碑式的胜利。 


总理Jacinda Ardern说,自己在得知这一消息时,激动地在客厅跳了一段舞。目前,新西兰已经降到一级警戒,社交距离以及座位要求等将不再实施,社区运动赛事可以重新举行,乘客在公共交通及飞机上也无需保持距离。


Jacinda Ardern也指出,新西兰已经是全球为数不多的限制最少的国家之一。总理也说,过去几个月,疫情对新西兰经济的影响小于预计水平,经济复苏会比预想地要快。她呼吁新西兰人民继续购买本地产品,支持本地经济。

无论是清零的新西兰,还是被称为“防疫典范”的澳大利亚,他们在疫情期间,举国上下做出了的努力有目共睹。从一开始封锁国家,到各路企业支持防疫物资,再到开发能追踪个人健康情况。最终使疫情得到了控制,新西兰更是一举清零。

Today is day 26 of Alert Level 2 and day 17 without any new cases of Covid-19 in the country.Today is also day 75 of being in a Covid alert level of any kind.Our team of 5 million has both sacrificed and achieved a huge amount in just under 11 weeks as the world reckoned with, and continues to reckon with, a virus that went from obscurity at the start of the year to a global pandemic that will linger, with second waves a constant reality.As it spread rapidly around the world, we all saw people losing their loved ones and their livelihoods at a rate that was never acceptable to us.And so here in New Zealand we went hard and early with a single plan that had a dual purpose – and to protect lives and livelihoods.Self isolation for all returning travellers came into place first – 17 days after our first case.We closed our borders to everyone but New Zealanders 20 days after our first case.Our first economic package, including the critically important wage subsidy scheme, was in place 19 days after the first case. Most other countries took more than 40.And then New Zealanders did something remarkable in our fight to beat Covid-19. We united in unprecedented ways to crush the virus.Our lockdown was in place 26 days after our first case, when we had just over 200 cases.Google tracking showed that during our lockdown, New Zealanders massively reduced their movements – by 91 per cent to retail and recreation – better than Australia, the UK, the United States, and nearly every other place we compare ourselves to.Had we not acted, 11 days in to our lockdown we were projected to have 4000 cases. We had 1000 and one of the lowest rates per capita in the world.That was what the sacrifice of our team of 5 million was for. To keep one another safe, and to keep one another well.And as much as we could, we have.We acknowledge those we have lost in our battle to beat Covid-19.Our goal was also to come out the other side as quickly and as safely as we could.A place where our borders continue to be our first line of defence but where all current rules and restrictions on businesses and services are essentially lifted. Where all the rules for hospitality, such as single service, separated tables, and people being seated, all end. Where there is no requirement for physical distancing in workplaces and in public places.Where all gatherings of any size can occur.Where life feels as normal as it can in the time of a global pandemic.And today, 75 days later, we are ready.Today, there are no active cases in New Zealand.We have tested almost 40,000 people for Covid-19 in the past 17 days and none have tested positive.We have had no one in hospital with Covid-19 for 12 days.It’s been 40 days since the last case of community transmission, 22 days since that person finished their self-isolation.And so today I can announce that Cabinet has agreed we will now move to Level 1 – to get our economy fully open again – and we will start almost immediately.We move down to Covid-19 Alert Level 1 from midnight tonight.With over 100,000 new cases being reported each day, the challenge of Covid remains around the globe and so it remains here. We are not immune to what is happening in the rest of the world.But unlike the rest of the world, not only have we protected New Zealanders’ health, we now have a head-start on our economic recovery. That’s because at Level 1 we become, if not the most open, one of the most open economies in the world.Oxford University publishes a Government response stringency index, ranking countries from 0 to 100 in terms of their level of restrictions.Before today’s move to Level 1, New Zealand was at 33.3, while Australia was at 62.5. We were already nearly twice as open as they were.The Reserve Bank’s analysis shows the economy under Level 1 is expected to be operating just 3.8 per cent below normal levels.That’s an improvement from the estimated 8.8 per cent below normal under Level 2, 19 per cent below normal under Level 3, and 37 per cent under Level 4.And it was encouraging to see economists recognise that activity under Level 2 was also stronger than expected. Westpac last week said the economic recovery was tracking faster than expected, and that activity like heavy and light traffic movement, and electricity use is back to, or above, pre-Covid levels.Zespri too has reported that despite the global challenge of Covid, its exports are well ahead of last year, with 5.7 million more trays shipped this season so far than last season along with its highest sales yet in Europe as demand for healthy produce grows.At Level 1, we expect the continuation of recovery.After all, at Level 1 we can hold public events without limitations.Private events such as weddings, functions and funerals without limitations.Retail is back without limitations.Hospitality is back without limitations.Public transport and travel across the country is fully opened.This freedom from restrictions relies though heavily on the ongoing role that our border controls will play in keeping the virus out.We must remain mindful of the global situation and the harsh reality that the virus will be in our world for some time to come.We are confident we have eliminated transmission of the virus in New Zealand for now, but elimination is not a point in time – it is a sustained effort.We almost certainly will see cases here again – I want to say again, we will almost certainly see cases here again – but when that occurs it will not mean we have failed. It is the reality of this virus. We must be and we are prepared for future cases.That’s the reasons our border remains our first line of defence as we aim not to import the virus. Borders remain closed at 15 of 17 comparable countries.Our managed isolation and quarantine at the border will continue and it will be as important as ever as we know this is a potential pathway.And that is key because we want to not just move to Level 1 – we want to stay there.And so there is a key ask I have of all of you today, of businesses.We are asking all businesses and services where the public visit or enter to provide people the opportunity to maintain their own diaries of where they’ve been.And so our All of Government team will continue working with sector groups, businesses, hospitality firms, churches, schools and others to encourage them to display QR codes via posters at the entrance of premises – as most of you will have seen at businesses as you were out and about at the weekend – so that everyone can maintain their diaries via the NZ Covid Tracer App.Manual sign-in is no longer required, but we do ask that you put up a QR code poster at the door of your premises so people can scan in and can keep a record for themselves. Ongoing improvements will be made to ensure these QR posters are as accessible as possible for businesses.We have also worked with the events sector on a voluntary code to ensure attendees’ details are captured at these bigger events where we know the virus can spread easily.The reason for all of this is simple.If we get one or two cases in future, which will remain possible for some time to come due to the global situation and nature of the virus, we need to shut down those cases fast.The last thing we want to do is move back up the alert system again.So this is a key new behaviour we are asking all New Zealanders to adopt at Level 1.You can do and go wherever you like, we just ask you keep a record of where you have been by scanning in – or noting down your movements for yourself.I have one more thing to ask.At Level 2, agencies have been managing the return of employees to work with around 50 per cent of people back at their places of work last week.Now, at Level 1, you can, unless you feel unwell, go back to your place of work.There has been some good adaptation over the past couple of months with flexible working. This is progress and has helped people with care arrangements and has also helped to avoid traffic congestion – these things we should not lose.But we can balance that with ensuring we also have thriving CBDs.For our part we have asked the State Services Commission to issue new workplace guidance to make it clear that every public sector worker should return to their usual place of work, taking into account flexible work policies.We’ve got to Level 1, now let’s make our next goal supporting our recovery, right across the economy.I know that having such a firm sight on success for so long has sometimes made the road we’ve taken seem longer and the steps we’ve taken seem more laboured.At every step there have been those who’ve pushed us to do something different, to go faster or further, but our collective results speak I think for themselves.That caution and hard work got us down the mountain safely when the descent is always the most perilous part.Moving to Level 1 now the dividend for everyone’s hard work, for now.But we need our team of 5 million for the phase.And that is to get New Zealand moving again, as we move from the collective call to action of Unite against Covid-19 to Unite for Recovery.I encourage you to buy, play and experience New Zealand-made to get our country moving again. Consider it an extra form of support, to visit our country, buy our local products and support our local businesses.For my part, this week is about the Government’s recovery efforts, and focus on jobs.And you’ll be seeing that in my agenda.Tomorrow I will be in the Bay of Plenty, visiting a kiwifruit and avocado packhouse – to discuss how we can further assist the sector to attract workers, noting horticulture has already picked up some 2000 workers who have lost their jobs due to Covid. I will also check in with our Mana in Mahi scheme that gives employers the equivalent of the unemployment benefit to hire those who might be reliant on it, at an electrical business installing solar power and heat pumps in Tauranga.On Wednesday I’ll be in Kaikoura for a tourism announcement.On Thursday I’m in Auckland making a health infrastructure announcement and on Friday, following our $30 billion investment to protect jobs and restart the economy due to Covid, I will speak to the Vision Week web summit where I will share further details of how the Government is working with business on New Zealand’s economic recovery and rebuild from Covid-19.While we’re in a safer, stronger position there’s still no easy path back to pre-Covid life but the determination and focus we have had on our health response will now be vested in our economic rebuild.And so while the job is not done, there is no denying this is a milestone. So can I finish with a very simple thank you New Zealand.




三年前,初登世界政坛的阿德恩还被很多人等着看笑话,但一步步走来,她最终还是用实力证明了自己绝非虚名。


新冠肺炎疫情仍在全球蔓延,就在全球确诊病例突破311万例时,有一个国家在近日宣布已经战胜疫情。


它就是新西兰。


4月27日,新西兰总理杰辛达·阿德恩表示,“新西兰在新冠肺炎疫情下未出现大规模且未被发现的社区传播。我们已经打赢了这场战斗。”



在被问及新西兰是否已消灭新冠肺炎时,阿德恩回答称:“当前(已消灭)她将疫情得到控制归因于“每一个新西兰人都做出了牺牲”。


早在3月23日,阿德恩在发表全国电视讲话时宣布,随着新冠肺炎确诊病例的急剧增加,以及社区已出现人传人现象,全国防控疫情警戒升至最高等级,并从3月26日零时进入为期4周的举国“封城”模式。


一个多月后,新西兰累计新冠肺炎确诊病例1469例,累计死亡19例,累计治愈1180例,且已连续一周新增确诊病例保持在个位数,相对成功地将疫情控制在了一个非常低的水平。


不过,面对疫情随时可能卷土重来的状况,阿德恩也提醒人们,切勿自满。“燃烧的灰烬”可能演变为一场“野火”。


“没有人应该自满,没有人说工作已经完成,没有人说取得了最后的胜利。我不希望任何新西兰人沾沾自喜。”


这么短的时间内,新西兰取得了如此明显的抗疫效果,并宣布要退出“封城”,阿德恩和新西兰一夜之间成为国际新闻头条。



1


回顾新西兰抗疫的过程,可以发现,为了控制疫情,阿德恩带着政府下了不少功夫。


首先,在疫情暴发初期,新西兰全国确诊病例仅有十几例时,政府就采取了非常严格的管控措施,不仅强制关闭边境,还开展了大范围的筛查和追踪密切接触者的工作。


在全国进入“封城”模式后,学校、餐馆、酒吧等公共场所全部关闭,就连海滩、公园等场所也全部暂停开放。


· “封城“后的新西兰街道


其次,政府方面除了采取及时有效的防控措施,为抗击疫情赢得时间外,在公布疫情信息方面一直都很及时、清晰、透明,有效避免了因疫情引发恐慌情绪。


为了民众在“封城”期间正常生活,政府也出台了一系列便民措施。


比如,在政府官方网站上列出了一份基本服务列表每一项服务都明确了具体负责人,设立呼叫中心回应民众疑惑。


将国内最大的室内体育场改建为“食物银行”,向不方便出门的民众或无家可归者免费提供食物,并建立了一个网站,以便消费者报告价格不合理问题。


教育部也号召学校转为网上教学。在教育部网站上向老师和学生家长提供建议和免费资源,并为贫困社区的孩子们提供网课设备。


对于需要继续工作的基础服务人员,政府也安排了家庭托儿服务。


受国际疫情影响,新西兰经济受到冲击。为缓解经济下行压力,政府又推出了总额为121亿新西兰元(1新西兰元约合4.3元人民币)大规模经济刺激计划,投入资金相当于国内生产总值的4%,其中51亿新西兰元用于工资补贴。


此外,疫情当下,阿德恩也是亲力亲为做表率。


4月中旬,阿德恩宣布,要带着政府部长们在未来六个月内一起减薪20%,以声援在疫情期间财务困难的人们。她还表示,自己的减薪只是对缓解社会薪酬不平等做出的小小贡献。


· 阿德恩在办公


若有官员违反“封城”禁令,阿德恩则毫不留情,立刻处理。


4月6日,卫生部长克拉克被市民拍到驾车到其住宅附近的山上骑山地车锻炼身体,舆论哗然。阿德恩得知后,将其做降职处理,克拉克在政府内阁的排名降至最后一名,兼任的财政部副部长职务也被免去。


正因为以上的种种表现,民众对阿德恩的信任度蹭蹭上涨。


抗疫、民生、经济全都抓的阿德恩,值得某些国家领导人学习一下。

作为新西兰160年以来最年轻的女总理、全球最年轻国家女领导人,“80后”领导人阿德恩的从政之路那真是“走自己的路,让别人随便说”。


她从小就不是乖乖女,恶作剧、打群架、带头反对老师……按父母的话说,她就是个留着长发的“假小子”。到了中学,她又迷上了摇滚乐,后来还学会了打碟。


不仅爱打碟,阿德恩也爱派对、爱蹦迪、爱喝酒,最爱的饮品是烈性威士忌。学生时代的阿德恩是学校有名的“舞会皇后”。



1980年,阿德恩在新西兰哈密尔顿出生。虽然生于一个普通的家庭,但阿德恩从童年起就不是个普通人。在家上蹿下跳,在外滋事打闹。


阿德恩的家人和同学根本不会想到,眼前这个“不良少女”将会在37年后成为新西兰的领导人。她的家人都是虔诚的摩门教徒,所以她很早就加入了摩门教。

到了初中,阿德恩的观念跟摩门教的固守思想产生了很大分歧,叛逆的她二话不说愤然退教。

也正是这次举动,让她成为了远近闻名的“不良少女”,走在路上永远都伴随着周围人的指指点点。


后来,她对爸爸的警察工作产生了极大的兴趣。跟着爸爸看的案件越来越多,阿德恩也认识到了社会有多么的黑暗和不公。

而内心叛逆的她最不能容忍的就是这些。那时起,阿德恩便决定要亲手改变这一切。


接下来,她加入了学校的“学生维权协会”,每天都会带着社员们去抗议学校“让女生穿裤子”等规定。

她也成为了学校唯一一个连校领导看到都要绕着走的学生。

而她的这些做法,旁人都以为无非是叛逆少年的热血而已,但她从政的姑姑一眼就能看出来,这不就是一个领导人最该有的政治天赋吗?

到了17岁,在姑姑的鼓励下,她加入了工党,并积极参与各种活动,没多久就成为了青年部的高级成员。


就这样,怀揣着正义梦想的阿德恩考上了怀卡托大学,读政治和公共关系学。

毕业后,高学历加高阅历的她,很快就找到了一份令人羡慕的好工作:总理办公室研究院。

但视野远不止此的阿德恩没过多久便放弃了这份好工作,只身前往伦敦。


在伦敦80多人的政治团队里,阿德恩负责给当时的英国首相布莱尔做资深顾问。

到了2007年,工作出色的阿德恩被推选担任国际社会主义青年联盟主席,并开始了在全球各地的工作。

这段经历,让阿德恩更加清楚了自己想要什么,新西兰需要什么。

带着这些收获,28岁的阿德恩回到新西兰,并进军政界。此后,便开始了她开挂般的从政之路。


2008年,成为了最年轻的国会议员。2017年3月,成为工党最年轻副党魁。同年5月,被推举为工党党首。

当上党首的第二天,她的一句话圈粉无数新西兰人。节目中,主持人问:“在孩子和职场间如何做选择?阿德恩想都不想直接回怼:“这都2017年了,完全不能接受你这样的说辞。

什么时候生孩子是女性自己的事,这不能预先决定她们是不是能获得工作。


那个叛逆的阿德恩还在,只不过现在的叛逆,是针对新西兰所有黑暗的不公。

没过多久,新西兰开始总理大选,阿德恩的攻势越来越猛。

支持堕胎无罪、鼓励高等教育免费,而她提出的这些政策,全都是新西兰人民最想要的且最需要的。

随着阿德恩喊出“大干一场吧!”的口号,她获得了120个议会席位中的63个议会席位。


而37岁的阿德恩也成为了新西兰160年以来最年轻的总理!短短9年时间,阿德恩便从议员突飞成国家总理。这速度,简直就像开了挂……



3


当选最年轻女总理后,属于阿德恩的奇迹还在继续……


就在当选总理4个月后,阿德恩又向外界抛出一个“炸弹”——她怀孕了!


国家领导人在任期内怀孕产子,别说在新西兰历史上绝无仅有,就是在国际政治舞台上也是罕见的。


· 阿德恩和男友、孩子。


按阿德恩的说法,她是在大选前6天得知自己怀孕了,并通过视频电话告诉了男朋友克拉克·盖福德。是的,这位女总理还没有结婚。


盖福德是新西兰知名媒体人,主持着一档版权卖了20多个国家的钓鱼节目,新西兰民众称他“第一渔夫”。


一个是风流倜傥的主持人,一个是一丝不苟的女政客,看起来八竿子打不着的两个人,咋就走到了一起?



原来,盖福德在好几年前就一份法案给多个议员写信,其他议员都没搭理他,只有一个人回复得很认真,对方还在信里邀请他去咖啡馆,继续讨论问题。


给克拉克回信的人,正是阿德恩。


两人在咖啡馆见面后一见钟情,恋情发展也非常迅速。而盖福德自从被阿德恩“收服”后,再也没闹过绯闻,还说:“能遇见阿德恩是我这辈子最大的幸运。”


盖福德曾向媒体透露,每天5点半,闹钟准时响起,女友听到后,马上从床上跳起来开始工作。所以,他对女友的关爱之一就是让她“多睡觉”。


怀孕后,阿德恩仍开启“女强人”模式,对工作毫不懈怠。之前有媒体记者问她,怀孕了打算如何工作,她强势回复:“我只是怀孕了,又不是残疾了。”


去年4月,怀孕7个月的阿德恩还坐长途飞机,出访德国、法国和英国;与其他国家元首会面时,她经常踩着一双细高跟出镜;离预产期还有3天,她还挺着大肚子去参加了农业博览会。



去年6月21日,小宝宝终于出世,阿德恩只休了6周产假,就回到工作中,而“第一渔夫”盖福德转行,在家里做起了“第一奶爸”。当阿德恩因工作出国时,盖福德也会带着孩子一同前往。


2018年,阿德恩开创先河,带着不满百日的女儿去参加联合国大会,这个举动在联合国引起不小的轰动,也被不少人视为里程碑。不过在阿德恩看来,因为自己一直坚持母乳喂养,所以带宝宝一起去开会“是非常实际并且可行的决定”。



可即便阿德恩如此拼,仍有人针对她女性领导人的身份振振有词。不过后来发生的事情,最终还是让那些反对她的人哑口无言。


2019年3月15日,一名29岁的澳大利亚人在新西兰南岛基督城的努尔清真寺和林伍德清真寺内疯狂屠戮,造成51人丧命。


阿德恩迅速将枪击事件定性为恐怖袭击,并提出控枪法案。在不到一个月的时间,新西兰国会就通过了枪支管理法修正案,正式禁止大部分半自动武器。


阿德恩当时对危机的处理方式可以说是教科书级别的。在处理恐怖袭击事件中,她从未正面提到这名枪手的姓名及身份信息,只是将所有焦点转向事件本身,让人们去关注恐怖主义,而非恐怖分子。


· 阿德恩围着黑色头巾探望在恐怖袭击中失去亲人的市民。


《新西兰先驱报》称,总理以钢铁般的意志引导人民克服了恐惧。


此前,民众对阿德恩的认知只停留在新西兰最年轻的总理,以及她带着孩子开会的情景。但在那次恐袭事件中,阿德恩带领整个国家走出困境,就连她的政敌及批评者也对她敬佩万分,这也使得她在世界政坛的名望大增。


三年前,初登世界政坛的阿德恩还被很多人等着看笑话,但一步步走来,她最终还是用实力证明了自己绝非虚名。


不过,阿德恩却一直强调,自己是一个再普通不过的女性:“我并不是女超人,而且任何女性也不应该被期待成为女超人。我们只是通过勇气、决心和帮助来达到(所追求的东西)。”


今年9月,新西兰大选又将展开,阿德恩也早已放话要争取执政,“今年,我们的行政将一直进行到选举当天,我们会争取继续执政下一届。”看来,阿德恩又要“大干一场”了!
