New Zealand health authorities say there has not been anyone who has met the definition of a suspected case of coronavirus in this country, but they are expecting a case and are prepared for it. "If and when we get a case, we will be telling the public promptly. We have not yet had a case of coronavirus. So far we have not had anyone who has met the definition of a suspected case." Dr Bloomfield said they were expecting they will get a case, "but we know what to do if we do".
