Australia’s navy ship HMAS Adelaide, which has been hit with an outbreak of COVID-19, has arrived in Tonga on Wednesday to offload more humanitarian and medical supplies as the country recovers from a devastating volcano and tsunami disaster.
As Tonga has no COVID-19 cases currently, the authorities have insisted that all foreign aid be delivered without any person-to-person contact. Additionally, goods delivered by aid flights are left for 72 hours before being unpacked to reduce any infection risk.
