Hasn't NZ's draconian border restrictions been precisely what has allowed them to avoid the need to impose the types of burdensome local restrictions that threaten these small businesses?

We had less local restrictions than most other countries until delta hit 4 months ago - since then we've had a 3-month lockdown in our largest city and huge impact to small businesses, and we still have citizens locked out of the country. Deaths are comparatively low though.
