New Delhi: New Zealand on Sunday reported the first case of corona in the community for more than two months.

According to the report, New Zealand health officials on Sunday confirmed the first case for more than two months, sparking urgent contract-tracing efforts north of Auckland. A 56-year-old woman who recently returned from Europe tested positive for the virus  10 days after completing a compulsory two weeks in managed isolation, although she had noticed symptoms several days before getting tested. Contact tracing was underway after it was revealed the woman and her husband spent several days travelling around the Northland region while she was potentially infectious, visiting about 30 different locations.

New Zealand director-general of health Ashley Bloomfield said the woman had returned two negative tests while in isolation, and her husband had not shown any symptoms. It marks the first known case of community transmission in New Zealand since November 18. Authorities were reviewing closed-circuit television footage to see if the woman contracted the virus while in the managed isolation facility.
