New Zealand has planned to mark June 15 as the Covid-19 elimination day after health authorities detected no new coronavirus case for the 13th day in a row on Thursday. The country, which has won global praises for its Covid-19 management, had reported the last positive case on May 22, reports Efe news. A health ministry spokesperson told New Zealand Herald that the last community transmission case of a person, whose source of infection was not known, came out of isolation on May 18. That could be be taken as the reference point for the 28-day coronavirus-free period to mark its elimination day, a health ministry spokesperson told Efe news. That means that the period will finish on June 15.
