While taking keyframes from the viral video and doing a reverse image search, on August 8, the Zee News website reported that “New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardren visited Radha Krishnan Temple ahead of the national election.”

Indian Ambassador to New Zealand Muktesh Pardeshi has posted on his Twitter page some photos of Jacinda Ardren visiting the Radha Krishna Temple on August 6.

On June 8, New Zealand’s Prime Minister Jacinta announced that she was lifting all restrictions on coronavirus in the country. He went to Radha Krishna temple on 6th August. He came to the temple two months after the restrictions imposed on Corona were lifted.

Therefore, it can be understood that Jacinta’s temple visit has nothing to do with the Corona announcement. He also visited a Hindu temple in the run-up to the country’s elections on the 18th of next month. According to the 2018 census, Indians are the 4th largest community in the country with a population of 2.44 lakh. Of that, the number of Hindus is between 89,000 and 1.23 lakh.

Coronavirus cases are reported again in New Zealand after 102 days. The city of Oakland is set to re-impose restrictions as four people have been infected with the COVID-19 virus, according to a report on August 11.

Explanation

From our search, the viral video has been misunderstood as saying that the New Zealand Prime Minister went to a Hindu temple as soon as he announced that they had abolished the corona in their country and paying the ritual debt. It is learned that the visit of the New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinta to the temple has nothing to do with the corona.
