The mariners are part of a group of nine who arrived in Auckland on Monday before being transferred onto a deep-sea fishing vessel in New Plymouth. All nine returned a negative COVID-19 pre-departure test before travelling to New Zealand.
The mariners arrived on a red flight so all other passengers are in MIQ, and the other seven mariners on the vessel have all tested negative, Director-General of Health Dr Ashley Bloomfield said on Wednesday.
The vessel is headed back to the Port of Taranaki and all crew - the two mariners and 13 other crew - will be placed in MIQ facilities while whole genome sequencing is carried out to determine what variant the two mariners are carrying.

Update on the two mariners
The ship the mariners who tested positive for COVID-19 after arriving in New Zealand on Monday are aboard is now returning to port. Once there, the two mariners and 13 other crew will disembark and go into managed isolation and quarantine. The Ministry of Health and the Ministry for Primary Industries are working closely with the shipping company to ensure the ongoing health of those aboard.
All three close contacts of the two mariners are fully vaccinated. They are the bus driver who drove the crew of nine from Auckland to New Plymouth, a port pilot and a customs officer.
