New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says all travellers except those from Pacific nations will be required to self-isolate for 14 days upon arrival in the country, in response to the coronavirus outbreak.
All cruise ships will also be told not to come to New Zealand until June 30.
Ms Ardern said these were “far-reaching and unprecedented” measures to tackle a global pandemic.
New Zealand has six confirmed cases and has not recorded any deaths.
