At least 385 people have self isolated themselves after travelling through China following the coronavirus outbreak. Calls to a Ministry of Health-funded helpline have surged since the dedicated number launched last week. The Ministry of Health said anyone who has travelled through China since February 2 could have been exposed to coronavirus. National Telehealth Service chief executive Andrew Slater said there were currently 385 people registered as being in self isolation. People calling that line will be able to talk with a member of the National Telehealth Service and they will also have access to interpreters.
