NZ fishers aiming to stay on vessels until end of lockdown
Although all domestic travel is set to be banned by the national government, Sanford Fisheries has been deemed an essential service, and hence the fishers are more than happy to go back to sea.
“I never thought I’d be so happy to see work again”, one deckhand is quoted by Stuff, noting that work aboard the vessel was now her only escape from being stuck in her house for an indefinite span.
All those heading to sea will be tested for COVID-19 before sailing, potentially for six weeks.
NZ fishers sounds like a good plan. They’re working and hopefully away from the virus.
