The Whanganui region has its first confirmed cases of Covid-19 with three cases in the Ruapehu District.
The Whanganui District Health Board say all three are New Zealanders who flew back to New Zealand from overseas and went into self-isolation.
All three are males in their twenties and arrived on a flight from Chicago on Monday.
WDHB said they had been fully compliant with quarantine requirements and do not need to be in hospital.
Chief executive Russell Simpson said the DHB, iwi, the health sector and the wider community had plans in place for dealing with confirmed cases.
