A woman in Queenstown is the eighth person in New Zealand to be diagnosed with coronavirus.
It is the first confirmed case of the virus in the South Island.
The woman, in her 30s, had travelled from Denmark. She had been hospitalised for one night in Queenstown after falling unwell and testing positive for Covid-19.
The Ministry of Health said the woman was in the process of being discharged and put in self-isolation.
The woman had arrived in Auckland on flight QR920 from Doha, Qatar, in the early hours of March 10.
She then flew to Christchurch the same day on flight JQ225, arriving at 8am.
She travelled to Queenstown using a private rental vehicle.
The Otago Daily Times reported the woman checked into a holiday park near Queenstown's city centre.
The woman did an adventure activity on Thursday and ate at a restaurant later that evening, when she began feeling unwell.
She received the positive test result on Saturday, after she went to Queenstown Medical Centre's Isle St clinic late on Thursday or early on Friday, the ODT reported.
The woman ate at another downtown restaurant on Friday and possibly used shared facilities while at the holiday park.
The woman is now in isolation in a camper van at a camping hub in Frankton. It has been closed to other campers, the ODT reported.
In a press conference in Christchurch on Sunday afternoon, director general of health Ashley Bloomfield confirmed she had been travelling with family members.
He said the focus was on following up with people who have had close contact with the woman, notably her family.
He was confident the public health unit would have made appropriate arrangements for them, he said.
The woman would self-isolate for two weeks.
Queenstown Lakes Mayor Jim Boult said in a statement he hoped the woman would make a "speedy recovery".
"In the meantime, she will be provided with the care and support she needs during this difficult and understandably concerning time," he said.
Boult said the current situation was a reminder for accommodation providers to think through their management of guests who have to self-isolate.
"There is no need for panic buying but this is a good time to follow the normal emergency management preparedness guidelines to have food and requirements to last for several days," he said.
Boult declined to comment further when approached by Stuff.
Contact tracing is under way for those who might have come into contact with the woman on her flights, or in her travels around New Zealand.
The Ministry of Health also confirmed the seventh case, an Australian man in his 60s in Wellington, on Sunday.
In Akaroa, Canterbury, three passengers aboard the Golden Princess cruise have been quarantined and are being tested for coronavirus. Two of the three people have been identified as close contacts of a confirmed case.
