That is not to say Covid is not an issue in NZ - it has certainly impacted virtually everyone in some way, shape or form. Reality is, in NZ covid only entered 1 rest home - with tragic consequences - but in Australia and Melbourne in particular, they never really stomped it out (as it has been done in NZ) - so not only is covid not in rest homes in NZ currently, combined with there rigorous processes in place, but we (theoretically) don't even have that '1 person' to be able to give covid a chance... Might as well start comparing apple and oranges - it would be just as relevant as these types of posts (about Australian care and various issues in it, even prior to covid).
thats because there hasnt been a full on outbreak in NZ , so your statement is a bit naive to say it is different here basing your assumptions on it will never happen in NZ EVER
a rest home or what ever is the same anywhere. if there is a full on outbreak in NZ it will be no different here to overseas that is the risk going forward
