Navy staff recovered

Auckland: Most of the New Zealand Royal Navy personnel and family stationed in Canada have recovered from Covid19.

The affected crew appeared to have picked up the virus from their accommodation in a building 12km from the Canadian Forces Base Esquimalt.

They are part of 103 naval personnel in Canada with the frigate HMNZS Te Mana, which is undergoing a major systems upgrade.

Te Mana captain Commander Mike Peebles said yesterday there were currently only three active cases, two of whom are RNZN personnel. — The New Zealand Herald
