The third case of coronavirus in New Zealand is an Auckland man in his 40s whose family recently travelled from Iran, the Health Ministry has confirmed.
Director-General of Health Ashley Bloomfield said the latest case was one of family transmission because the man himself had not travelled to a country with coronavirus. His family had been to Iran.
Earlier this week a woman was diagnosed with Covid-19 - she had recently returned from Northern Italy.
