New Zealand, Australia shut borders to all non-citizens, non-residents

Same as Canada

This should have happened in January and then it would be much less an issue now and many less cases if any in the country. If all nations had acted together at the start and closed all boarders then it would not have reached pandemic scale. But for the sake of business as usual things remained open until it was already too late.

Lets hope the lessons learned from this pandemic will be remembered for the next one in a hundred years or so.

Great idea, save lives.

What!? How can they do that? What about the illegal immigrants showing up?

It isn't an issue now. So far there is no evidence of community transmission in NZ, so now is the right time to shut the borders. If they were shut in January, imagine the economic cost.
