Six members of Pakistan's cricket team have tested positive for Covid-19 while on tour in New Zealand.
Health officials said all 53 members of the visiting squad were tested on arrival in the country.
All the six cricketers have been moved into quarantine and the team's training suspended.
New Zealand's cricket authorities said two of the six cases were "historical" - can refer to a positive test returned some time after a person has recovered - and the other four were new.
A health ministry spokeswoman told Stuff.co.nz that several members of the Pakistan team had been seen on CCTV breaking the rules and the team was now on its final warning.
The rules had been broken despite "clear, consistent and detailed communication of expected behaviour", the spokeswoman was quoted as saying.
All members of the Pakistan squad are said to had earlier tested negative four times before leaving the Pakistani city of Lahore.
