Covid-19's effect on international students

We're just beginning to feel the effect of Covid-19 virus to the internationals students from China especially who come to study in Aotearoa New Zealand.  It's a fact that these students contribute heaps to the economy of New Zealand and not having them will be detrimental to people and businesses down the line who depend on these huge number of students.  The students also have contributed to raising the culinary taste of Kiwis as seen from the number of Chinese restaurants found all over the country.  There are 8 regional cuisines in China which I am pretty sure are all represented here in NZ: Anhui, Fujian, Guangdong, Hunan, Jiangsu, Shangdong, Sichuan, and Zhejiang.  Perhaps the 9th one will be Hong Kong, but that's another story!
