An exercise has taken place in Wellington today to check New Zealand's preparedness for Ebola.

The exercise addressed two possible scenarios.

They included a traveller who had recently visited an Ebola-affected country falling ill during a flight to New Zealand.

The other was a sick couple reporting to a hospital Emergency Department after having returned from West Africa.

Health Minister Jonathan Coleman says feedback from those evaluating the exercise is that we have the right systems in place and a high level of preparedness.
