Going hard and early has worked for us before,\u201d Ardern insisted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe ask people to stay two meters away from anyone you pass, stay local, and do not congregate,\u201d she stated. \u201cDon\u2019t talk to your neighbors. Please keep to your bubble.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In October 2021, Ardern smiled as she acknowledged creating two different classes of people with different levels of freedom depending on whether they were vaccinated.<\/p>\n<p>The New Zealand Herald\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nzherald.co.nz\/nz\/covid-19-delta-outbreak-new-traffic-light-system-all-you-need-to-know-about-todays-announcements\/X7W2WC55EVXKH3NMNHIYPSVMGU\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a> Ardern had \u201cannounced the country would move into the new traffic light system when each District Health Board has 90 percent of its population with both doses of the vaccine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, you\u2019ve basically said, this is gonna be like, well it\u2019s almost like, and you probably don\u2019t see it like this, [inaudible] two different classes of people, if you\u2019re vaccinated or if you\u2019re unvaccinated,\u201d an interviewer prompted. \u201cYou have all these rights if you are vaccinated \u2014\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat it is what it is,\u201d Ardern replied, smiling, \u201cSo, yep.
