New Zealand reports three new COVID-19 cases

Three new COVID-19 cases were reported in New Zealand on Tuesday, bringing the country's total number to 11.

Two of the new cases are in a Wellington family who recently returned from the United States, and the third case is a Dunedin man who had recently traveled to Germany, said the Ministry of Health's Director-General Ashley Bloomfield.

"All these cases are associated with overseas travel," Bloomfield said.

He said the two new Wellington cases are a man in his 30s and his father in his 70s. The son became unwell on the flight and his father was sick the following day. They have been quarantined and treated at home.
