Sailors aboard an offshore supply vessel based in St. John's are worried for their safety after the provincial government approved four American technicians to join the ship without self-isolating upon entering the province. In response to questions from CBC News, a Maersk executive said the Americans will arrive in St. John's around Aug. 11, and proceed straight to their hotel where they will be tested for the virus. Some of the St. John's crew members have vulnerable family members, or have their own underlying conditions that could make COVID-19 a fatal infection. The Maersk Nexus, front, is an offshore supply vessel that services the oil fields off the coast of St. John's. With restrictions loosened and people living freer daily lives, the crew member worries his ship could be the source of an outbreak.
