The Health Ministry has confirmed a second worker at the Sudima Hotel managed isolation facility in Christchurch has tested postive for Covid-19 tonight.
The person is a close workplace contact of the health worker who returned a positive test yesterday.
Both people came into contact with some of the 31 international fishing crew who are infected with the virus and remain in quarantine at the hotel.
