A New Zealand citizen who had tested positive for the CCP virus was taken into custody on Thursday in central Auckland after he disobeyed a quarantine order, according to police.

In New Zealand, people who test positive for COVID-19, the disease caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, are routinely required to isolate in hotels run by the military.
