Photo: RNZAir New Zealand staff have an anxious wait in managed isolation while scientists try to determine where the newest case of Covid-19 in New Zealand has come from. They are expected to show whether the Covid-positive Air New Zealand crew member caught the virus in Shanghai or in New Zealand. "So this is the first time under the new regime, you could call it, the new surveillance testing model, where someone has actually been picked up as having Covid." The crew is very safety conscious and takes surveillance testing, their own health and that of their passengers very seriously, he said. He said a lot of people are really hopeful that Air New Zealand will be able to start flying again and then rehire some staff.
