The positive case is a recently deceased Filipino fisherman whose body washed up on a beach near the capital Port Vila a week ago, before it was taken to the local mortuary.
Following the discovery of the body, a UK-flagged tanker was detained by Vanuatu authorities amid investigations over the death.

He said the government was issuing the order to ban outbound travel from Efate for three days while contact tracing efforts were conducted.
