Scientists are monitoring a new virus in China, saying it was likely transmitted from animals to humans.

No deaths have been recorded but it's prompted Taiwan's Centres for Disease Control to monitor the virus.

Scientists have published just one letter on the virus. This is what they have said so far.

What is Langya henipavirus (LayV)?
It's a novel virus called Langya henipavirus (or LayV for short).

So far, it has been detected in 35 people in eastern China.

It was found through surveillance testing of people displaying fever symptoms.

No deaths have been reported and scientists say there is no obvious evidence of human-to-human transmission of the virus.

They also said there was "no close contact or common exposure history among the patients".

The disease is related to the Hendra hanipavirus, which was discovered in Queensland in 1994.

Of the seven people who have caught Hendra virus in the decades since, four have died.

The Reserve Bank handed BNZ a formal warning after it did not report the correct location for 50,000 local cash transactions to police between November 2018 and April 2020.

Anti-money laundering and countering of financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) law requires financial service providers to report all domestic transactions worth more than $10,000 to the police and the Reserve Bank.

BNZ discovered a technical coding error in its systems in August 2020, which meant that inaccurate location data was sent to the police.

BNZ self-reported the issue to the RBNZ.

"We can appreciate that design errors can occur," RBNZ deputy governor Christian Hawkesby said. "This reiterates the importance of reporting entities regularly testing and validating the coding for AML/CFT systems to ensure they are correctly designed."

There was no suggestion that BNZ was engaged in money laundering activity.

He said a warning was an appropriate penalty.

"The prescribed transaction reporting regime is important for building an intelligence picture across New Zealand's financial system.

"Unfortunately, these coding errors compromised the quality of the information held by the police.

"We note that BNZ self-reported this issue to us and has worked hard to remediate the issue and provide the FIU with the corrected information."

A spokesperson for BNZ said it respected the Reserve Bank's findings and took its AML/CFT compliance very seriously.

"We are continuously reviewing our processes and procedures, working with regulators and other authorities, and investing heavily in this area to build our capability and make ongoing performance improvements."

New Zealand is on the brink of another Omicron wave, experts warn, with average cases rising as immunity wanes, more infectious variants arrive, and winter sets in.

Public health experts, however, are concerned that the public and government are primarily focused on “moving on” from the virus, after the country transitioned out of its Covid elimination strategy – and are not taking the necessary steps to try to reduce transmission.
