The ship is carrying some mariners who have Covid19 and will be taken to an MIQ facility. The Sudima Hotel has a dedicated quarantine wing with 28 rooms.

The current crew had Covid tests on Tuesday after 15 reported recent flu-like symptoms. The vessel started to head from Taranaki to Christchurch on Thursday and the Ministry of Health later confirmed 16 crew members had Covid-19.

Health officials said after discovering the virus had spread quickly through the foreign ship, “we felt it was the best course of action to take to offer managed isolation and quarantine [spots]”.
