New Zealand Asserts It Eliminated Coronavirus; Had Less Than 1500 COVID-19 Cases, 19 Deaths

New Zealand says it has stopped community transmission of COVID-19, in effect eliminating the virus, the BBC website reports today (April 27, 2020).

With new cases in single figures for several days -- including just one yesterday -- Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said the virus was "currently" eliminated.

Officials have warned against complacency, saying it does not mean a total end to new coronavirus cases.

New Zealand has reported fewer than 1,500 cases of coronavirus and 19 deaths.
