Re:Genomic epidemiology of novel coronavirus (HCoV-19) by JaggedNZ on Monday March 02, 2020 @02:46PM (#22468120)
Here in New Zealand we are at 3 confirmed cases, one of which was an individual who recently return from Iran. There is a case that there are more yet undetected cases, but I suspect we are currently talking about dozens of people rather than "widespread" outbreak.

Most of the initial testing was sent to Australia and I'm not sure what capability NZ medical labs have yet and I doubt they are sequencing much. There is a chance that the Iranian was sequenced, with media referred to a "deeper" testing protocol after initial tests where negative.
