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。
