The inconclusive COVID-19 test result of a Port of Tauranga worker, reported earlier today, has now returned a negative result, the Ministry of Health can confirm.

It comes after one port worker was retested today as their initial result was inconclusive but considered low risk, following the container ship Rio De La Plata being unloaded at the city’s port.

All ships coming to New Zealand from overseas are treated as if the ship has COVID-19 on board and protocols are in place to manage these risks.

The Ministry understands from local public health staff that all infection prevention controls, and PPE protocol, were followed by port workers who had contact with the ship during their duties.
