New Zealand has reported third new coronavirus case after declaring victory against the deadly virus. The recent patient is reportedly a Pakistani man who flew from Lahore’s airport to Australia, and then to New Zealand.
Kristin Hall, a journalist in New Zealand, posted a tweet saying: “One new case of covid in NZ. He's a man in his 60s staying at Jet Park hotel which is a quarantine facility. His flight came from Lahore, Pakistan. He stayed at an isolation hotel before being moved to quarantine.”
