Three kept on Ebola watch in New Zealand

Prime Minister John Key says the Government will weigh up whether to follow Australia's lead in temporarily closing borders to people from Ebola-affected west African nations.

No Ebola cases have been confirmed here or across the Tasman but the Government said today that three people had been on "temperature monitoring" after arriving in New Zealand from west Africa.

We've had a bit of a look at the number of people that are coming to New Zealand who have been to countries either where Ebola is present or alternatively in the region in general. I have to say those numbers are relatively small. They are about one person a day.

No Ebola cases have been confirmed here or across the Tasman but the Government said today that three people had been on "temperature monitoring" after arriving in New Zealand from west Africa.

From the same article:

"We've had 74 people from those West African countries come through our borders since August 10th, no one is currently on temperature monitoring," he said.

"We've had three people who have been, and they've all been cleared."
