Hundreds of people infected with corona on cruise ship

Hundreds of people have reportedly contracted the coronavirus on a cruise ship in Australia. The broadcaster 9News spoke on Friday about 800 infected passengers and crew on the “Majestic Princess”.

The shipping company Princess Cruises confirmed the virus outbreak without initially giving exact figures. “The guests have only mild symptoms or are asymptomatic and are isolated in their cabins,” Australian media quoted a company spokesperson as saying. All unaffected passengers also wear masks for protection. The crew had been ordered to don full protective equipment.

The luxury ship will dock in Sydney early Saturday morning (local time). “While the government has said we have to live alongside Covid, it is a worrying thought that 800 people who have tested positive for the coronavirus will land tomorrow,” said a 9News reporter.

There are 4600 people on board. In Sydney, private means of transport had been organized for the infected persons so that they could quickly isolate themselves.
