Within 25 days of our first case, we closed our borders to all but New Zealanders. Germany took 49 days; Spain, 52; Australia, 55; Singapore, 61. Our lockdown was in place from day 31, with just over 200 cases. Our first economic package was in place 18 days after the first case; most other countries took more than 40 days. Ours was 6 percent of GDP, bigger than the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, China, Korea, and Japan at the time, and unlike others, it injected cash flow into businesses immediately, with more than $10 billion paid out to more than 1.6 million New Zealanders in the form of a wage subsidy. The Government has initially invested $23 billion into our COVID-19 response to keep our people safe and our economy ready to be revitalised in the next stage of our response.
