Chinanews.com, March 20th. According to the New Zealand Skyway.com, at 1 pm local time on the 20th, the New Zealand Ministry of Health notified that there were 11 new cases of new coronary pneumonia confirmed in New Zealand, and a total of 39 confirmed cases in the country.
It is reported that the 11 new cases are currently isolated at home. Health officials are investigating these confirmed cases, most of them with a history of overseas travel.
The New Zealand Director of Public Health said that if the symptoms of a confirmed patient appeared 48 hours after the plane landed, the case would have a low risk of transmission on the plane and no flight information would be released. And if there is a risk of contact on the plane, the Ministry of Health will contact them one by one, and flight information will be announced on the official website of the Ministry of Health later.
In addition, at 6 pm local time on the 19th, New Zealand Prime Minister Adeun announced that after discussions in the cabinet, the New Zealand border will be closed to all New Zealand non-resident passengers from 11:59 pm local time on the 19th.
According to reports, the new rules provide that children and spouses of permanent residents and citizens of New Zealand can still enter, but all short-term visas and student visa holders will not be able to enter.
