Covid boat berthed in Wellington
Authorities are expecting further Covid-19 cases from a fishing vessel which has docked in Wellington with two confirmed cases already on board.
The Viking Bay pulled into Queens Wharf in central Wellington just after midday on Monday and mariners wearing masks could be seen aboard.
Most of those on board would be taken to one of Wellington’s two managed isolation and quarantine facilities by bus, with those who tested positive travelling separately from those who returned negative tests. Those buses would then be deep-cleaned.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
