New Zealand health officials said on Sunday they were investigating what they said was probably the country s first community coronavirus case in months, in a woman who recently returned from overseas.
The 56-year-old, who returned to New Zealand on 30 December, tested positive for the virus that causes COVID-19 days after leaving a two-week mandatory quarantine at the border where she had twice tested negative. We are working under the assumptions that this is a positive case and that it is a more transmissible variant, either the one identified first in South Africa or the UK, or potentially Brazil - or another transmissible variant, Director-General of Health Ashley Bloomfield told a news conference.
