										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>New Zealand moved into a snap three-day lockdown Tuesday after identifying a single case of locally transmitted Covid-19 suspected to be the Delta variant, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said.</p>
<p>Ardern said New Zealand, which had not recorded any infections in the community for six months, could not take any chances with the &#8220;game changer&#8221; Delta strain.</p>
<p>&#8220;We have seen what can happen elsewhere if we fail to get on top of it. We only get one chance,&#8221; Ardern said in a televised national address.</p>
<p>The New Zealand leader cited Australia&#8217;s struggles to contain the highly transmissible Delta variant for her &#8220;short, sharp&#8221; reaction to the case, which was found in a 58-year-old Auckland man.</p>
