New Zealand has diagnosed the first case of the corona virus outside the isolation facilities for the first time in more than two months.
Following this, authorities began locating the contacts of the infected woman - a 56-year-old woman who had returned from Europe and was diagnosed ten days after completing a two-week isolation, and published a list of places she had visited.
Everyone who visited them was asked to stay at home and perform tests out of caution.
The island nation has returned to full routine after being able to eradicate the disease from its territory, and has won international acclaim.
A total of 1,927 diagnoses and 25 deaths were recorded over the past year, very low numbers compared to most countries in the world.
According to the state health ministry, two tests that the woman underwent went back negative before she left her isolation facility on January 13th.
She began to develop mild symptoms two days later, and these gradually worsened.
She was diagnosed yesterday and has since been in isolation at her home, as well as four of her close contacts.
Health Minister Chris Hippkins said at a news conference today that it is too early to speculate on its source or strain of infection.
The Ministry of Health warned that it may have been infected with one of the mutations that developed in the virus and caused it to spread faster.

In Britain, nearly six million people received one of the first two rations, even as the death toll in the kingdom approached 100,000.
Health Minister Matt Hancock said today that three-quarters of people aged 80 and over in the country received the vaccine, as did three-quarters of nursing home residents, and a total of 5.9 million doses were given by yesterday.
Health officials in the UK want to vaccinate 15 million people, including all people aged 70 and over, by 15 February.
The UK vaccine campaign is a rare success on the continent, experiencing delays and glitches in an operation designed to eradicate the plague.

Yesterday, the commander of the Spanish army, Angel Vieroya, resigned after it was reported that he had been vaccinated before at-risk groups, along with several other public figures who jumped over the line and angered the residents.
The Ministry of Defense did not explicitly state in a statement that he resigned that he had received the vaccine, but hinted at that.
According to the statement, the general "never intended to take advantage of unjustified privileges that harmed the image of the armed forces and questioned his dignity."
It was further said that he "acted with the thought that he was right", but "harmed the public image of the armed forces".
Vieroya has not yet responded to allegations against him.
At the beginning of the epidemic, he represented the military in daily media briefings, in which he detailed the army’s purge operations in nursing homes and nursing homes.
