This afternoon the Director-General of Health Dr Ashley Bloomfield and the Director of Public Health Dr Caroline McElnay explained the work that's happening to make sure New Zealand is prepared to deal with any novel coronavirus outbreak.
Dr Bloomfield said that New Zealand is prepared and the likelihood of a sustained outbreak in New Zealand remains low.
