Covid-19 at our borders - 16 more fishing crew test positive
A second fishing vessel in New Zealand waters is dealing with a COVID outbreak, after 16 crew members tested positive. The Spanish-flagged Playa Zahara is heading to Christchurch's Lyttelton Port, where it will dock tomorrow, with the crew placed in MIQ. Meanwhile Australia's outbreak is still spreading, and there's news out of Queensland that a traveller from that state has tested positive in "another country". Epidemiologist Michael Baker joins Māni Dunlop on Midday Report to discuss the risks.
