Cruise ships banned entry

It also tightened measures for visitors to exit quarantine, after reporting more coronavirus cases linked to overseas travel.

The country, which has recorded just 22 deaths from COVID-19, was among the first in the world to end all restrictions after declaring it had no active cases but has seen a small number of new cases in recent days.

We are extending the current cruise ship ban which was due to expire on the 30th of June, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said in a news conference.

Cargo vessels will still be allowed to load and unload, fishing vessels to unload and resupply, and vessels can come to New Zealand to undertake repairs and refitting, Ardern said, although some quarantine rules would be tightened.

  1. So can I ask what government agency you got a letter from to get the FAA/TSA approval to have
    your FAA Certified Part 107 remote pilot fly this mission as you are well inside the DC Flight
    Restricted Zone and even inside the 7NM ring requiring a government agency sponsor any flights?

    I’d love to be able to legally fly missions like this but so far have not be able to figure out how
    a government agency would be able to sponsor a private, commercial shoot like this.
    Thanks!
