This is the confident response from Minister of Health David Clark after being asked if events like Pasifika and Polyfest should still go ahead, despite the announcement of New Zealand's first COVID-19 coronavirus case.
He says, "we're confident at this stage the chance of any spread into the community is very low, as long as people take the sensible precautions".
Clark says "if anyone is feeling unwell they shouldn't go to a big public event" and they should self-isolate.
