Hon Dr DAVID CLARK (Minister of Health): New Zealand currently has only five confirmed cases of COVID-19, but we continue to plan and prepare for a range of possible scenarios. As part of that precautionary approach, Cabinet yesterday acted to make COVID-19 a quarantinable disease effective from tomorrow. That means that medical officers of health will have powers under the Health Act 1956 to quarantine ships, aircraft, and associated travellers coming into New Zealand where there are grounds to believe there may be cases of COVID-19 on board. We have not yet had any need for such powers, but this is another sensible precaution we can take to protect the public, and it's in line with the pandemic plan.
