“New Zealand and Vietnam did not impose a lockdown to contain the spread of COVID-19.”
What Vera Files found
In 2021 alone, New Zealand has imposed a lockdown twice: on Feb. 14 (for three days) and Feb. 27 (for seven days). Vietnam was the first country in Southeast Asia to impose lockdown measures when it placed under quarantine the entire Son Loi commune in Vinh Phuc province for 20 days beginning Feb. 13, 2020.
