Antarctica New Zealand chief executive Sarah Williamson said people heading to Scott Base already had two weeks' isolation before travel, and had limited contact with other bases once there.
"We have some really good and comprehensive pieces in place this year to make sure we keep Covid out of the Ross Sea region as best we can. I don't think it'll make any changes to what we do but we are constantly reassessing to make sure we have what we need in place to keep Covid away from Antarctica if we can. "
Williamson said there was no contact between Scott Base and the Chilean base, which was about 4000km away.
