So far, the country has recorded around 600 coronavirus cases and six deaths.
Meanwhile, New Zealand also announced its decision to close its borders to all foreigners from midnight Thursday.
"We will no tolerate risk at our borders," Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said at a news conference, adding that citizens and permanent residents can still return
