Kiwis shouldn't feel "overly worried" about the threat to New Zealand of the deadly disease Ebola, Prime Minister John Key says.
Anyone arriving in New Zealand who had visited West African countries affected by the virus in the past month was being screened for symptoms of the disease and possible
exposure to the virus, which has so far killed more than 4000 people.
Director of Public Health Dr Darren Hunt earlier said an expert advisory group had been set up to ensure New Zealand was as prepared for the virus as possible, but the Ministry of Health assessed the risk of Ebola arriving in the country remained very low.
