Why is WHO saying NZ has 2 virus cases but nothing in the news.

The World Health world map and counts of this virus shows New Zealand now has two cases but I see nothing in our news. ? I know I don't read the news every 5 minutes but as this has happened in the last 12-15 hrs I would have expected something said or have I missed it.
The WHO map is updated I think daily and interesting to see the growth and international spread which would be handy for anyone on imminent international travel.

While I am here just an interesting observation on that video showing people how to wash their hands correctly. While watching I thought it was great that when finished washing people turned the tap off with clean hands , the tap that had been turned on with dirty hands. I remember when I was in Japan in the early 1980's the tap water flowed over the tap thus cleaning it. The person demonstrating how to clean hands did turn the tap off with her elbow.. Good touch but did anyone notice the door handle in the background that had to be grasped and pulled to open the door. The handle that the person prior opened with hands perhaps not washed .
If one case sent some people into a frenzy panic buying , what will two cases do .. Might be an idea to stay off the roads till it settles down. Can stay home and play ping pong with the cat.

We want March to be all about celebrating the connections we have while making new ones along the way. As we all know, what makes a neighbourhood great isn’t the houses and cars, gardens and streets - it’s the people who share their presence and aroha with each other.

A wonderful way to take part is to participate in Neighbours Day Aotearoa which takes place from 27 March - 5 April. This year’s theme is ‘Small Things Make a Big Difference’ - we couldn’t agree more!

Let us know how you’re celebrating by email or tag us online and include the following hashtag:
