I thought it was to buy time to vaccinate, so they could avoid the cases and fatalities of a 'naive' population being exposed to the virus.
They only have 40% fully vaccinated though probably that's health care workers and the most vulnerable.
So I can see for NZ as a measure to buy time, rather than an end goal, that there was some merit in it.
