What is still important is that we are all careful and observe basic health safety. Practising good hand and sneeze/cough hygiene is the best defence:
wash your hands often with soap and water before and after eating as well as after attending the toilet
cover coughs and sneezes with clean tissues or your elbow
put used tissues in the bin
Encourage anyone to stay home if unwell. If you are concerned that someone is showing symptoms of fever, cough or shortness of breath, encourage them to first ring Healthline (0800 358 5453) or contact their GP by phoning ahead of their visit to explain symptoms and travel history.

This means all situations where you may come in contact with others, such as social gatherings, work, school, child care/pre-school centres, university, faith-based gatherings, aged care and health care facilities, prisons, sports gatherings, supermarkets, restaurants, shopping malls, and all public gatherings.
If you are a visitor to New Zealand, this means you should avoid sitting in a restaurant, participating in any type of tour group, or using public transport, including flights, buses, and trains between cities in New Zealand.
If you are unsure if you should be self-isolating, please contact Healthline for free on 0800 611 116.

Symptoms of 2019-nCoV are similar to a range of other illnesses such as influenza and do not necessarily mean that you have 2019-nCoV. Symptoms include fever, coughing and difficulty breathing. Difficulty breathing can be a sign of pneumonia and requires immediate medical attention. We don’t yet know how long symptoms take to show after a person has been infected, but current WHO assessments suggest that it is 2–10 days.
If you have a fever, cough or difficulty breathing please telephone Healthline (for free) on 0800 611 116.
