After weeks of no community transmission cases of COVID-19, New Zealand has been rocked in recent days by a comparatively huge spike in person-to-person transmissions in and around Auckland in the north of the country.
Fourteen new cases have been reported today including 13 cases of domestic transmission, leading officials to scramble to track the original source, with people still reeling from the discovery of four infected individuals in the same family on Tuesday.
Prior to the discovery, New Zealand had gone more than three months without a single registered case of the virus having been transmitted domestically, leading to it being held up as the poster-child of effective anti-COVID measures.
The number of cases now deemed “active” in New Zealand numbers 36.
