Wellington: New Zealand has reported 68 cases of the new Coronavirus community, the biggest daily increase since April last year as a Delta variant outbreak continues to grow.
The government put the nation into tight locking last week because it tried to spray the outbreak, which has grown to a total of 277 infections.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said Thursday that he believed his computer worked and new cases would soon begin to fall.
Also on Thursday, the National Carrier of New Zealand reported an annual loss of 440 million New Zealand, or around $ 306 million, after income fell by almost 50% because of a pandemic plunge in international journey.
