That’s the issue here for us. I draw your attention ot the word "verification" in the document I linked. "Activate your AIS transponder (or other observable satellite tracking system) prior to departure. Keep it on for the duration of the journey so your movements can be verified. Any deviation in your journey plan will make verification that you have met your isolation requirement more difficult and may require you to complete the 14-days isolation period in a managed isolation facility when you arrive in New Zealand." My emphasis. 33 minutes ago, NorthlandYS said: that by the way don’t return phone calls or emails. Great governance! You mistake operational implimentation for governance. This could explain why you missed the significance of the word "verification" but I can't verify that. Ironic eh. I think you'll find call screening of vexatious communications may explain it as well. Again, unverified. BTW, death toll in the US is still in the 2.5 to 3k a day range. Florida alone +79 yesterday and a rate of just over 1,000 deaths per 1m population. Here, 5 per 1m. I wouldn't be whinging about overkill if I were you. Only a few days to go. Enjoy Christmas.

NorthlandYS 1 Posted December 17, 2020 Author Share Posted December 17, 2020 Less than 12 days you spend BALANCE of 14 in hotel not a full 14. No other “yacht” has spent 14 days but on us. Of course the officials “don’t have that information in front of them” hard to see with their heads that far stuffed up their bums no doubt. Anyway, here’s hoping for no summer lockdowns!

Looks like you pissed the man off, and now he's making you sweat. Too much back chat me thinks. Too much attitude. You should've gone to Fiji... Edit, how come you were whining about being sent to MIQ on the day of your arrival then? You were upset you couldn't isolate on your boat for the first night. Or are you just changing your story as you go along now? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A quite large disclaimer exists on that customs web page, The information is a general guide only. The legislation is what matters. The COVID-19 Public Health Response (Isolation and Quarantine) Order 2020 section 10.1 - states that you must spend 14 days after your start time. So the question now becomes when was your start time? Because you arrived by sea, your start time in quarantine is defined in Section 23 of the COVID-19 Public Health Response (Maritime Border) Order (No 2) Section 19(3) is the one that defines the start time in your case. TLDR; if a health protection officer is not satisfied with the evidence that you have provided to offset your time required in a quarantine facility then your start time is zero. I suspect it's likely that because you had to deviate for weather and repairs and because you didn't have AIS, that they're not prepared to take your word for it. There is another possibility and that is if you came into contact with any other people also on the way to MIQ. This would also reset your start time to zero. This is common when busses are used to transport people. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
harrytom 698 Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 So what is the difference of a cruiser being at sea for 14 days and the arrival of HMNZS TE KAHA from Canada?? being at sea 15 days counts as isolation.Hmm bit one eyed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If a cruiser or a merchant ship spends 14days at sea Covid symptom free and has the appropriate evidence to support that claim then no further isolation is required. But a warship is just so different on so many levels... They have been in state of lockdown since June. They exceeded the 14 day requirement which is set for merchant ships and small craft. They can actually prove it and will be believed. A sovereign ship is legally sovereign territory - these folks have legally been in New Zealand since they boarded, the Covid orders wouldn't even apply to them. And many many more... A NZ warship, with a hospital on board, is a far cry from a cruiser, let alone a merchant ship. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A promising start. 21 hours ago, NZL1 said: The border is not secure, thus why we have motels full of people being tested. A secure border would insure testing before arrival!!! We have daily new cases sitting in hotels.. one slipup an boom!... The border is not 100% secure to Covid in the same way that our border is not 100% secure to anything. This is why the testing takes place at entry and in MIQ. Testing prior to entry would require a secure post-test accommodation. Testing at early infection is nowhere near 100% reliable, so the reality is you would need 2 tests, about three days apart prior to boarding to be around 95% certain (but not 100%) that the traveller was not positive. Good luck managing that in ports outside your own country. Of course, if MIQ was the one and only method in place for reducing Covid, a "slip up" at MIQ would be a serious failure. Fortunately, its not hte only method. Test and trace systems are designed to quickly catch and then isolate any case in the community. Evidence from throughout 2020 is that our t&t system is working effectively as a part of our total containment and eradication process. 21 hours ago, NZL1 said: The Government cannot be trusted and has broken the rules, changed the rules, and generally buggered people around.. The vast majority of kiwis have brought the spin and lies because.... hey!... "Getting paid to have another holiday is great " A mix of supposition and hyperbole here, along with a misunderstanding of how our government works. Yes, rules have changed - its called adapting to changed circumstance. When more facts come along, we can change approach to meet the new knowledge. This is not generally done by government alone - they get advice from relevant experts. Typically not from the man on the street. The vast majority have bought into it because it demonstrably works. Compare and contrast if you like with Sweden, UK, USA, Canada, the wider EU, any central or South America country.... Sure, some contrarians are unhappy, but they are generally those who are miserable about anything so they should not be overweighted in any assessment of impact or acceptance. You touch on economic impact - you might want to compare that using the same list of countries above. 21 hours ago, NZL1 said: How many infected people have died from Covid in the last 6 months?.... None How many under 50s since March...none. Open up and isolate the vulnerable! Making people with no recent history of contact with humans isolate is just overbearing. Your first 2 sentences show how effectively the Covid managment system is working. Well done. Isolating the vulnerable has been found to be a practical impossiblity. You would need to somehow isolate almost 1/3 of our population. The economic and social impact would likely be the same or larger than the current settings. And less effective from a health perspective - again, reference the UK. 21 hours ago, NZL1 said: Making ex Kiwis, who contribute nothing to NZ, get free 14day holiday is just plain dumb...

OK, so now we reach to point where a poorly considered series of possibly alcohol-fueled rambling statements become self-contradictory. Rulings that follow the published policy and process may be annoying for individuals, but they are consistent - a consistency you railed against earlier. You cannot charge citizens to return to thier own country. When you have finished your reading up on citizenship I suggested above, you may understand why. This liberal slow soft reactionary goverment is in charge of a country that has nearly the lowest infection and death rate in the world and near the best economic outcomes post-covid. So, sadly for you, the facts indicate that the goveernment's approach is near top of hte class on an outcomes basis. 22 hours ago, NZL1 said: If a boat load of gay, dope smoking refugess landed in Snell's beach Jacinda would be there with open arms arms and that " look of sorrow" Wait to this time next year and check the economy, you house value, and the unemployment numbers...

I thought that this topic had been debated fully in the past but obviously NZL1 has been here 5 minutes and wants to have their say. It beggars belief that someone could still maintain that position, after the last 9 months of experience. Haters gotta hate. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
