The contents of a suspicious package sent to the New Zealand Herald were not Ebola, tests show.

A police spokesperson said a small plastic bottle of liquid was among items in a suspicious package delivered to the paper's mail room on Tuesday morning.

Testing in Australia showed it was not the virus, and they were continuing their investigation into where the package came from, they said.
