New Zealanders returning home from or travelling via China will be expected to stay out of public areas and monitor their health as officials grapple with the spread of the coronavirus. It comes as the death toll has now grown to more than 400 with more than 17,000 infected worldwide.
Foreigners are no longer allowed across the border, but New Zealand citizens or permanent residents will be allowed through the gates.
They'll have to spend two weeks in isolation in their own home, and the Ministry of Health says it won't be actively monitoring them.
