Today there is one new case of COVID-19 to report in New Zealand. The person is a man in his 60s and he is in a quarantine facility in Auckland.
The man flew from Lahore in Pakistan to Doha, and then from Doha to Melbourne on June 11. The man then flew from Melbourne to Auckland on NZ124 on June 13.
We are following up any potential contacts, including, as a precautionary step, following up with all passengers from that Air New Zealand flight, and we have alerted our overseas counterparts regarding the other flights.
The man wore a mask on all of these flights. The man, who was not symptomatic, was checked into one of the managed isolation facilities upon arrival into New Zealand – the Naumi hotel.
