Thank you for your request for official information received 28 July 2020
for:

1. I would like to request the total number Active Covid-19 cases
involving foreign citizens currently in DHBs or private hospitals.
Are any of the active cases foreign crew off commercial ships docked in NZ
Ports? If so what is their country of origin or last country before
return.
If there are active cases in NZ hospitals, why are these cases not
reflected in the number of cases in hospital - currently zero on the
Ministry website. Or are these cases reflected elsewhere? If so please
direct me to the site.
What is the current procedure for crew on foreign vessels in NZ waters
that dock here? Are they tested, and if so how many have tested positive.
Who pays for their medical care?
2. Have any Air NZ pilots of staff tested positive for COVID-19 in the
last two months.

The Ministry's reference number for your request is: H202005548.

As required under the Official Information Act 1982 we will endeavour to
respond to your request no later than 25 August 2020, being 20 working
