China No Longer Just A Commodity Story - Luxon
China remains New Zealand’s biggest market, taking $23 billion of our exports, but it’s no longer a commodity story, says Prime Minister Christopher Luxon.
The World Health Organization this morning reported the case.
The patient is a woman in her 30s who has recently returned from Italy.
She is in self-isolation with her partner at home.
This morning, the Global Dairy Trade (GDT) price index fell for the third consecutive time due to uncertainty around the spread of coronavirus.
The first case of Covid-19 in New Zealand was reported late on Friday last week.
The New Zealand-citizen, a man in his 60s, had recently been to Iran and flown back to New Zealand via Bali.
The Ministry of Health’s website says that the likelihood of a widespread outbreak is expected to remain low.
The Government has placed temporary restrictions on travellers arriving in New Zealand from mainland China and Iran as a precautionary measure to protect against the spread of the virus.
Travellers from northern Italy and South Korea have been instructed to self-isolate on their arrival in New Zealand.
