One airline crew member tests COVID-19 positive in New Zealand
An airline crew member was tested positive for COVID-19 on Sunday, said the New Zealand Ministry of Health in a statement.
The case was deemed as a border-related case identified as part of routine surveillance testing, said the ministry.
"The case is an airline crew member who returned to New Zealand from Japan on February 28, and returned a negative COVID-19 result. The person then subsequently returned a positive test result on Sunday after a swab taken on Saturday as part of a routine surveillance testing," read the ministry statement.
Initial assessment of the case stated that there was a low risk to the general public due to Auckland being at Alert Level Three for the period in which this case was back in New Zealand and was either in isolation or at home for most of that time, it said.
