Repatriation special flight

New Zealand approves repatriation flight for Samoan RSE workers

While awaiting the finalization of details, the New Zealand Government has also initiated additional employment relief for local RSE workers found stranded due to the COVID 19 pandemic.

Confirmed by the New Zealand’s High Commissioner in Samoa, Dr. Trevor Matheson, “The New Zealand Government is working to support a special flight to return some RSE workers to Samoa, at requested by the Samoan Government.
“Given Samoa’s COVID-19-free status, minimizing the risk of COVID-19 transmission will remain a key priority throughout.”
