New Zealand ends COVID-19 free run with two cases from UK

New Zealand’s 24-day streak without a new coronavirus case is over after two women who arrived from Britain to visit a dying parent tested positive for the disease.

The two women landed in New Zealand on June 7 and were allowed to leave quarantine six days later to grieve with another relative when the parent died.

They were tested in Wellington yesterday ‘as part of their agreed self-isolation plan’ – although one of them realised ‘in retrospect’ that she had experienced symptoms earlier.

The positive results came back today, a week after New Zealand scrapped almost all its lockdown restrictions when the number of active cases dropped to zero.
