Did I hear correctly that 3 seamen from the ship docked in Invercargill who have tested negative have been allowed ashore even though the rest of the crew are positive and are staying on the ship?

 

Shouldn't they be in MIQ if they have come ashore?

 

 

 

 

I freaking hope not

"The three crewmen who initially returned negative tests had once again tested negative. As per the ministry's guidance, plans had been finalised to transport two of them to a Christchurch-based MIQ facility."

The other one is the captain - and is returning to the ship.

Two of the infected crew had been transferred to hospital for assessment, but found to be okay and returned to the ship.
