【冠状病毒19】时隔102天后出现四新病例 新西兰奥克兰封城
新西兰在8月11日宣布，自奥克兰发现四起新增确诊病例后，当即封闭这该国最大城市三天。
这是继该国连续102天零病例后，再次传出有四起新病例，且来自一个家庭，当局仍在调查感染源头。
据报道，其中两名病患日前曾到访罗托鲁瓦，以及许多旅游景点，而据《新西兰先驱报》（NZ Herald）报道指出，他们出现冠病症状后，仍然去上班。
新西兰卫生部长阿什利·布鲁姆菲尔德（Ashley Bloomfield）指出，若罗托鲁瓦出现新病例，就必须采取全国应对措施，也促请该城市居民保持警惕。
流行病学家麦克·贝克（Michael Baker）对《新先驱报》指出，最坏情况下，奥克兰或封锁七周。“你可能希望有更长的封城时段，最正面的结果，联系追踪团队能够确定有关的新病例，是来自外国入境或受隔离区工作人员感染的。”
目前，调查人员正在其中一名病患工作的冷藏库进行调查，检测是否在冷藏库内的物体表面带有病毒。
此外，除了宣布封城三天，新西兰总理阿德恩也下令封锁该国的全部老人院，避免成为病毒的传染热点，并保护这高风险群体。
