Based in Auckland, NZ, the story follows how each character reacts to and prepares for the lockdown, given 48 hours notice, as it played out in New Zealand.

It’s 2020 and a new strand of Coronavirus called COVID-19 is spreading through the world. Countries are starting to go into lockdown: shutting borders, restricting businesses, and essentially forcing citizens to stay home.

This story describes the 48 hours that New Zealand spent at Alert Level 3 before moving into Alert Level 4 for four weeks (at least). The story is told from the perspective of twelve different characters, primarily revolving around one family in Auckland.

In an unfortunate occurrence, the characters all have one thing in common, and living in an outbreak of COVID-19 is about to test them beyond their expectations.


If you're interested in reading about NZ from the perspective of both local Kiwis and foreign Brits and Germans, this book will give you some insight into our special little country down in the corner of the world...
