Press Release – Maritime Union of New Zealand
Two COVID-positive foreign crew members are self-isolating on the Spanish-flagged deep sea fishing vessel
Viking Bay off the Taranaki coast.
The two crew members were part of a group of nine who arrived at Auckland Airport on Monday 5 July before driving to New Plymouth to join their ship.
The two crew who tested positive for COVID-19 stopped once on their trip from Auckland to Taranaki to use a toilet at a Hamilton isolation facility.
Three people who came into contact with the crew members are self-isolating including their driver and port workers.
Maritime Union of New Zealand National Secretary Craig Harrison says any incident like this raises the risk for infection.
