A government statement last night said an Aucklander has been placed in isolation at Apia's Tupua Tamasese Meaole Hospital, showing symptoms of the coronavirus.
They had been experiencing flu like symptoms for two days after flying to Samoa on March 11 for a family occasion.
It said samples had been sent to Melbourne for testing, but will take 10 to 20 working days to return.
It is not clear why it will take so long for test results to return.
