Coronavirus: N.Zelanda, non-resident stop

(ANSA) - ROME, MARCH 19 - New Zealand, after Australia, has also banned non-presidents from entering the country today to contain the coronavirus pandemic: the provision also applies to Australian citizens, who can normally enter New Zealand without seen.
"Our priority is to protect New Zealanders from Covid-19 - said Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern in a press conference -. In recent days it has become increasingly clear that the spread of the virus in other parts of the world means that we must take more stringent measures at the borders ".
The measure announced today, Ardern continued, prohibits all tourists and people who have had a temporary visa, such as students or seasonal workers, from entering the country. The government also announced today that coronavirus cases of contagion in the country have increased to 28 compared to 20 yesterday: all new infections have been 'imported' from people from abroad.
