Erongo health director Anna Jonas says they will allow the fishing sector to quarantine foreign crew on vessels, as long as they receive prior approval from the relevant authorities and is tested for Covid. Jonas responded to the issue raised on Friday by unions and seafarers, who were concerned after 127 foreign crewmembers boarded vessels to replace another group of foreign crew that departed for Europe on the same day. Jonas said this was not the first time that a foreign crew is quarantined on vessels, despite telling New Era on Thursday that no one will be allowed to quarantine crewmembers on board of vessels and that everyone must be quarantined on land before getting on a vessel.Posted On:14-Jul-2020
