Latest figures from 2018 showed 15,000 Chinese students were enrolled in New Zealand's universities, but it's not yet known how many have already arrived for the 2020 academic year and how many might still be at home.
One university said up to 75 percent may be caught up in the two-week ban. The academic year starts 2 March, but if the ban is extended, students may miss the beginning of term.
Chinese students expecting to arrive over the next couple of weeks are reportedly feeling helpless, and deeply uncertain about if or when they will be able to fly.
