Earlier on Tuesday, COVID-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins revealed alert level changes would be a "last resort" in the event of a community outbreak during the holidays. However, he said Kiwis following guidelines and the Government having plans in place will give New Zealanders "the best chance" of enjoying summer.

Holidaymakers in New Zealand are being asked to pack a “Covid kit” and stay put at their campgrounds if Covid-19 emerges during the summer break.

The Government has assembled a Covid-19 resurgence plan aimed at giving the country an unrestricted holiday, as Britons arrange “Christmas bubbles”, the Netherlands and Germany enter lockdowns, and the pandemic death toll in the United States eclipses 300,000 people.

A “Perfect man” through gene editing. A “Customized human” beginning with gene-modified embryos. This is already underway in China. A whistleblower exposed the details.
