Photo / FileHealth authorities are investigating a suspected historical case of Covid-19 detected in a crew member that arrived at the Port of Tauranga at the weekend. If confirmed, it would be the second case in the community in just two days, following the announcement of a positive case in a port worker yesterday. The crew member has returned a weak positive Covid-19 test, with a high CT value, that indicates an old infection, the Ministry said. A ship bound for Brisbane is the most likely source of infection for a port worker who tested positive for Covid-19 last week. The marine electronics engineer who tested positive for the virus on Friday had worked on both ships.
