Since the August outbreak in Auckland, everyone who tested positive in the community has been placed in quarantine facilities, unless they have been able to organize a suitable alternative.
Then on Wednesday, Fox News anchor Laura Ingraham claimed that the country’s “terrifying new quarantine measures” are the “end of personal freedom.”
“They are throwing people into quarantine camps,” he told viewers, before the station played a four-month-old Facebook video of Ardern that read: “If someone refuses at our facility, to get tested, they have to keep staying. “
What the outlet did not show was that the prime minister was talking about the return of New Zealanders and how they should undertake a 14-day period of self-isolation in a hotel upon arrival in the country.
In the video, posted long before the Auckland outbreak in the country, Ardern goes on to explain that returnees abroad should be tested for COVID-19 around days three and 12 of their stay and should return a negative test before depart.
The comments took Kiwis to Twitter, where they described what life is like in the pandemic in New Zealand using the hashtags #NZHellHole and #NZCovidCamps.
#NZHellHole was previously used in August after US President Donald Trump made repeated changes to New Zealand’s COVID-19 response, leading some of his supporters to believe that this country is “hell. “.
Auckland Councilor Richard Hills tweeted a photo of a room at Auckland’s “very nice” M Social, which is used as a managed seclusion hotel.
“Hello world, this is one of our inhuman quarantine camps. Please don’t tell the UN.”
