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.

"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.
