There are 8 new cases of Covid-19 in New Zealand - one in Christchurch, two in Waikato and another in Invercargill, Director-General of Health Dr Ashley Bloomfield says.
An Invercargill office has asked staff to self-quarantine after a worker was confirmed as the city's first coronavirus case today.
A statement from Findex Invercargill said the individual was now in self-isolation and displaying mild symptoms. They remained in "good spirits".
"Findex is working closely with the relevant authoritiesand healthcare professionals and is complying with all formal advice."
That included all staff in the Invercargill office to self-quarantine effective immediately, and working to identify other people who may have come into contact with the individual during the incubation period.
"At this time, there are no other confirmed cases throughout the Findex network."
