New Zealand health authorities have reported 14 new coronavirus cases - including 13 linked to one household in Auckland, EDNews.net reports citing ITV.
The additional case is a returned traveller who is in a quarantine facility.
New Zealand’s 102-day run without any community transmission of the virus came to an end earlier this week after four people from the same household tested positive in Auckland.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said she's expecting the situation to worsen before it improves.
"Modelling suggests that we will still see more positive cases,” she said.
“Again, at this stage, though, at this stage, heartening to see them in one cluster, which I think is a take home from this morning.”
