New Zealand has revealed three new privately procured Covid-19 cases, the country’s first since late January, when a returned voyager tried positive subsequent to leaving isolate.
The nation’s clergyman for Covid-19 reaction, Chris Hipkins, said the three cases were a couple and their little girl in Auckland, and that genomic testing was being directed to check whether the family’s disease was connected to any exceptionally irresistible variations.
