New Zealand has a fourth confirmed case of the coronavirus
6 March 2020
A man in his 30s has tested positive -- he's the partner of the woman on Auckland's North Shore who tested positive earlier this week.
The Ministry of Health says the couple had recently returned home from a trip to northern Italy.
Contact tracing is underway and close contacts are already in isolation -- including the couple's two children, who'd been attending schools on the North Shore.
The Ministry of Health says it will provide further details this afternoon.
An Auckland man in his 40s is also in isolation with his family after testing positive, following contact with two family members who'd returned from Iran.
He also had family members at another two Auckland schools.
