Covid-19: A year since New Zealand's first reported case
Hi neighbours,
It's been one year today since New Zealand's first reported case of Covid-19.
A person in their 60s flew from Iran via Bali and touched down in Aotearoa on February 26, 2020.
Two days later, that person's test came back positive for Covid-19.
Later, a historical case emerged – a visitor to the Waikato who became ill with symptoms consistent with Covid-19 on or about February 21.
The past year has been incredible, turbulent and unprecedented.
How do you think New Zealand has done with its response to the pandemic?
What do you think we have done well as a nation to combat Covid-19?
What could we have done better to ward off the virus?
What have you learned from the pandemic?

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
