"We don't have COVID-19 on Pitcairn (Islands). Our remoteness enabled us to quickly control our borders and we've suspended our passenger services until further notice. We're not totally isolated given that our ship is still running between New Zealand and Pitcairn. Our quarterly supplies are still being delivered. We're reviewing the situation on a monthly basis and ... we're accustomed to dealing with isolation."
