New Zealand has become one of the first countries in the world to be completely free of coronavirus for 100 days after effectively tackling the virus early doors.

The South Pacific nation hit the landmark number as life returned to normal for many people, with rugby games at packed stadiums taking pace and bars and restaurants opening freely.

Vietnam also nearly reached 100 days but was “stumped” on 99 when a spike in cases in the city of Da Nang caught everyone by surprise.

So far there has been just 10 deaths in the Southeast Asian country and just 22 in New Zealand.

Both governments have been praised for their response to the pandemic.

Elsewhere, Brazil has surpassed a grim milestone of 100,000 deaths from Covid-19, with the country showing no signs of crushing the disease five months after its first reported case.

The nation of 210 million people has been reporting an average of more than 1,000 daily deaths from the pandemic since late May, and reported 905 more in the 24 hours to Saturday night, edging its toll into six figures.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
