The New Zealand Ministry of Health asked all Auckland residents to stay home on Friday as a mysterious case of coronavirus was identified in the city, he wrote. guardian.
The woman lives alone in a large condominium, but not all other residents can leave their homes until they are sampled.
It also turned out that the patient went to work with Uber and repeatedly went to stores and took home food from restaurants when he was already experiencing symptoms.
The patient was isolated in a quarantine hotel until the result of the examination came out negative.
The authorities are monitoring developments and, if necessary, can raise the degree of epidemiological preparedness as early as Friday.
New Zealand has so far been at the forefront of the world in controlling the epidemic, with only cases reported recently brought in from abroad, but these people have already been tested at the border and placed in quarantine. In any case, the borders are closed to foreigners, so it is incomprehensible from where the woman contracted the disease.
