Jacinda Ardern has been roasted on social media after a clip of her saying that the coronavirus can "find" people who are not vaccinated emerged online.
"COVID does not just move to city centres", Ardern is heard saying during one of her pressers. "It finds the unvaccinated wherever they are".
Such characterisations immediately made some netizens laugh. One user ironically called the virus a "smart-a**" given its alleged ability to "track" the unvaccinated.
Ardern has recently introduced new vaccination rules for workers in places that require their visitors to be inoculated. Such staffers, according to the new regulations, will also need to be vaccinated. Per reports, the requirements will be imposed in the country as soon as 90 percent of the population receive both jabs.
