The third case of COVID-19 is a New Zealand resident in his forties from Auckland.

The man's family members returned to the country after visiting Iran, but he did not travel with them.

Director-General of Health Dr Ashley Bloomfield confirmed in a media briefing on Thursday that it was likely a case of "family transmission". 

"There is what appears to be a clear link with travel to Iran by a close family member. Our view remains that with continued vigilance the chance of widespread community outbreak remains low," he said.
