Is New Zealand and Australia Corona Free?

This was in the news few days ago. First it was New Zealand which announced Corona free when there were no cases reported for around 2 weeks and no person being treated in the hospital and after that it was Australia. But Is it safe to say that they are corona free. Maybe they haven't tested all the people because as per another news there are no symptoms in certain people and their immunity level helps them fight with the virus. What do you think is it right to say they are corona free?

NO, Australia is not, New Zealand declared a few days ago that they are now totally cleared. @myklj999 is correct they had 5 new cases today, 7290 cases in total and 102 deaths.

@Butterfingers The Australian authorities never declared that they are virus free anyway.

They might not be Corona free. If they have not tested the whole population then they wont know for sure. How could they be sure Also people can have the viruscbut have no symptoms

Yes that's a thing to look at because cannot imagine them testing every single person.

I think it's high time that virus stopped. I’m not sure the virus has stopped everywhere but here it is

I think Australia and Nuzealand were in a hurry to declare their country as Corona free. Still there may be undetected cases in the country.

I've seen it on the news, hopefully it is true. I hear New Zealand's population is not that dense though, so maybe that helped? And their President, or Prime minister handled the problems well. But there still may be asymptomatic people.

I think the government from that 2 country claim they are already free corona virus based on average number (median) statistic. But, honestly, i think its not literally 'free corona virus' or zero case.
