WELLINGTON - New Zealand officials were scrambling to trace the source of an outbreak of the coronavirus, reporting 13 new cases on Thursday , as long queues of people formed to escape a renewed lockdown in the country's biggest city and be tested.
"We can see the seriousness of the situation we are in," Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said in a televised media conference."It’s being dealt with in an urgent but calm and methodical way." "Once again we are reminded of how tricky this virus is and how easily it can spread," she said."Going hard and early is still the best course of action."Officials reported on Thursday that three more people at a refrigerator storage facility, where one of the family members worked, had tested positive.
Dr Bloomfield raised the possibility on Wednesday that the virus had arrived in New Zealand via freight, given one of the infected family members works in a cool store that takes imported frozen goods from overseas. Some prominent local health experts suggested it was more likely the virus had been quietly spreading in Auckland for weeks, infecting potentially dozens of people.
