But much less international travel, you would think? NZ's great advantage was that policymakers could treat the country as a closed system, whereas in the UK the effects of closing the borders are massively greater given family and business ties to Europe.
The scale of the UK's contact tracing problem in the early weeks became unsolvably massive almost immediately. Silly example but remember the issue about Excel running out of rows (1.5 million or something)?

I have no idea. I would assume that New Zealanders tend to travel abroad at a lower rate simply because they don't have so many countries right on their doorstep. Neither here nor there though, considering they closed their borders quickly.
