New Zealand reported 13 new community coronavirus cases on Thursday as the country tackles a fresh outbreak that ended an enviable run of more than 100 days without any locally transmitted infections.

The new cluster, which now totals 17 cases, has prompted the country to put its most populous city under lockdown as authorities scramble to trace the source of the outbreak. New Zealand now has 36 active infections, including imported cases. In total, the country has reported 1,238 confirmed cases and 22 deaths.

Authorities have used genome sequencing to investigate the source of the outbreak, but have found no link between the community cases and imported cases in New Zealand's managed isolation quarantine facilities, Bloomfield said."What we do know is that the genome sequence of the new cases broadly most closely resemble the patterns from the United Kingdom and Australia," he said.One of the original four worked at Americold, an American temperature-controlled warehouse company.

13? Really?

CLINTON can't talk, ❤ problem given, 2001, BUSH also can't, detonable. The staff called me ARAB QUEEN TO BE & PUT OUR LIVES IN DANGER, NO GOV HELP, NO 911 JOB SO AS TO 'LEARN OF ISLAM' as they phrased it, FAMILY AT WTC DEAD/no benefits, ENGLAND uses my 1st name/dead if USA help

Did they let a rogue infected American in?

Those cases were caused by the CIA to undermine NZ’s success and make realDonaldTrump appear less foolish.

At least NZ is doing their best unlike some countries who thought the virus will just disappear 🙄

13 cases! What a bunch of losers, the great USA has over 5 million confirmed cases and they are not bragging about it.

Those are “known” cases. Im sure there is more. Its not going away.

☹️☹️😢😢😢

freepeeper How very sad

Just single number easy to track and control.

Did they let Americans in?

They bragged too much.

Of course isn’t they the cleanest country or sum like that

Looks like the prime minister got a call from someone. you better start reporting cases or else! 13 new cases, really.

See, this is what’s a called a 2nd wave. The US is still in the 1st wave because we never contained it and reopened far too early.

Thats un belivable😔

13 cases that’s like nothing why this huge fuss

People jinxed it.

How did it get in ?

Wish she was the prime minister of my country

So they havent 'Eradicated' it as planned? should have done more testing than just 400K of symptomatic cases, out of a population of 4.5 million people then.

Obviously the 100 days was alleged and not fact.

Media keeps giving parties every other day 'Oh congrats NZ is free of COVID, bitch is awesome' then again 'its back'... The same idiocy is put on loop...

13? omg! it's the covocalypse! 😱😱

But compare that to how many just one US state had in one day or the whole country ! Sure as hell wasn’t only 13!

Or prime minister wants to delay elections?
