What is the current status of New Zealand's Investor Visa program?

I've heard the program is not active and that very few applications are getting approved, if at all. What's your advice if I want to apply during the pandemic? Should I wait for a few more months?

    Immigration New Zealand confirms that their offices in New Zealand are open. Although certain types of visas are processed, currently, there is no clarity on the selection of expression of interest for investor visas. Immigration New Zealand’s current update provides that most visa processing for applicants outside New Zealand is on hold due to Covid-19.  Accordingly, it would be better to wait for few more months.

    They have restarted the program, but like everything else it is all very slow.
