Border cases

It follows the arrival of the first quarantine free flight from New Zealand last week.

The government says so far all of the people who have tested positive for the virus were on the flight.

Premier Dalton Tagelagi is a close contact of one of the passengers and is in isolation at home.

Niue remains at Alert Level Yellow as there is no community transmission.

The government asks anyone with Covid-19 symptoms to get tested.

Samoa's Director General of Health Dr Take Naseri confirmed the cases, which include an 11 month old baby, during a press conference this afternoon in Apia.

The passengers were on a flight from Brisbane carrying 73 people.

All are fully vaccinated and had tested negative for Covid-19 before departure.

Dr Take Naseri said all of the passengers who tested positive since arriving in Samoa have been put into isolation and all are asymptomatic.
