Workers at the Port of Tauranga are being tested for Coronavirus. A building has been made available at the port where eight nurses, admin and IT support are based to test Tauranga port workers who may have had contact with crew on ships.
This comes after the Port of Tauranga issued a media release stating the port and maritime community was being targeted for testing to rule it out as a virus source. Everyone who has been at the Port of Tauranga since 11.59pm, Tuesday, July 21, is now required by law to get a test for Covid-19.
