China News Service, March 25. According to the New Zealand Skyway.com report, the New Zealand health department reported on the 25th local time. As of 9:30 am local time, 47 new cases were confirmed in New Zealand.
New Zealand Director of Public Health Bloomfield said most of the newly diagnosed cases were related to overseas travel history. Others are related to the Hereford meeting in Queenstown earlier, or have had close contact with previously confirmed cases.
It is reported that a total of 1421 cases were tested in New Zealand on the 23rd.
Bloomfield emphasized that those conducting the tests must be isolated. There will be more confirmed diagnoses before the situation reverses. He expects that the number of confirmed cases will continue to increase for at least 10 days in the future.
In addition, Sarah, New Zealand's director of civil defense emergency management, said later today that New Zealand Prime Minister Adeun would announce that New Zealand was in a state of emergency. At the same time, New Zealand Level 4 alert levels will respond tonight.
She said the unprecedented epidemic had spread all over the world, and that all states' rights and resources must be guaranteed before a state of emergency could be declared. The national emergency can last for 7 days according to legislation, but it can also be extended. I hope everyone can understand the seriousness of the current situation and stay at home to maintain self-isolation.
