New Zealand is a special case where it may be feasible to isolate yourself from the rest of the world and reach zero cases. With that said, it remains to be seen that it is possible to maintain zero community spread over the long term, and whether the economic impact of isolating yourself from the rest of the world is worth it.

- roca 6y agoWe aren't economically isolated from the rest of the world. We're still exporting and importing. Exports in some industries are higher than ever. We're still bringing in workers in certain key roles. NZers can leave (though they'll probably need to pay for quarantine when they get back). The main things that are suspended are international student and tourist arrivals, and when the flood of NZers returning home abates, we'll probably be bringing them in through the quarantine system.
