NZ's first virus outbreak in 6 months grows to 7

The first outbreak in six months in New Zealand has grown to seven people. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said on Wednesday that number is expected to keep growing, especially after some of those infected spent time at a church, a school, a casino and a hospital.

Ardern also announced people will be compelled to wear masks when inside essential services during strict lockdowns. That came after the government on Tuesday imposed a strict lockdown of at least three days for the entire country and at least seven days in Auckland and Coromandel after identifying the first infection.
