New Zealand has reported two new cases of the coronavirus as a trickle of infected people continue to arrive at the border, according to the Associated Press.
The country of five million people now has nine active cases after having none at all earlier this month.
Health officials said on Monday that all those cases involve people who have recently arrived and are in quarantine, and there is no evidence of community transmission.
Still, many remain anxious community transmission could return, especially after health officials admitted making a mistake by allowing two women who had arrived from London to leave quarantine before they had been tested because a parent was dying. The women later tested positive and have since isolated themselves.
