Lockdown

It was the first time the lockdown happened. I got very worried about it and I wanted to know what was going on.

The lockdown happened on March 26th, 2020. Another name for CoronaVirus is COVID_19. COVID-19 is a disease caused by a new strain of coronavirus. 'CO' stands for corona, 'VI' for virus, and 'D' for disease. The reason why New Zealand went under lockdown was because of the CoronaVirus. The government came up with 4 levels. At level 4 we had to stay in our own bubble so we won’t spread the Coronavirus. When we went to the shops we had to wear gloves and a face mask and some shops were closed. It all started in China in 2019. It was towards the end of November when the virus started. 

Only the essential workers were allowed to go to work. Some of the parents went to work at night and it is called night shift and my mum works night shift and the people that go to work at night they will come back home at 4.00am or 5.00am. Doctors were open but you have to make appointments and you have to pay a lot of money. The police officers were at the police station to help the public if there was a need. The non essential workers who were to stay home and it includes the teachers from the school’s, dental workers and so on.

We as a family had a great time. My family and I went to my nana's house but my brother did not come. He was at home and I was so excited to go to my nana’s house because I got to see my sister Jade.
