WELLINGTON - New Zealand has extended for eight days a ban on arrivals from mainland China, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said on Monday , carrying into its fourth week an effort to block exposure to the coronavirus.

But New Zealand has no plans for now to widen the ban to other countries, Ms Ardern told a news conference, adding,"We continue to focus on the epicentre of outbreak." Finance Minister Grant Robertson said the government would step in to assist businesses hit by the spread of the virus, if there is a long lasting shock to the economy or a global economic recession, but he did not expect one at the moment.
