(CNN) New Zealand reported 13 new community coronavirus cases on Thursday as the country tackles a fresh outbreak that ended an enviable run of more than 100 days without any locally transmitted infections. In total, the country has reported 1,238 confirmed cases and 22 deaths. New Zealand's outbreak is a dramatic turn of events for the country, which was heralded as a world leader in how it handled the outbreak. The state currently has more than 7,800 active cases, and has reported at least 275 coronavirus deaths, as of Thursday . Like New Zealand, Australia imposed strict border controls, but the current outbreak has been linked to poor practices at the border.
