NZ no longer best place to be during Covid-19 because of ‘lagging’ vaccine rollout — analysis

In the latest Bloomberg’s Covid Resilience Ranking, New Zealand has lost its title as the best place to be during the Covid-19 pandemic, TVNZ reveals. Singapore has topped the ranking, dethroning the country following a five-month run. New Zealand’s comparatively slow vaccine rollout saw Singapore beat it by 0.1 points, with the latter country able to vaccinate 19.4 percent of its population against Covid-19, while New Zealand’s has vaccinated 1.9 per cent.
