New Zealand has two new cases of Covid-19, a couple in their 20s who arrived on a repatriation flight from Delhi on June 5. Director-General of Health Dr Ashley Bloomfield says it is still to be determined if the child is a probable case. Dr Bloomfield said he was confident all procedures were followed correctly in detecting the positive results announced today. Before this week, New Zealand had 35 cases of Covid-19 identified among people returning into managed isolation. Today's two cases were asymptomatic, and this demonstrated the managed isolation system was "working as demonstrated", Dr Bloomfield said.
