800 covid-smittede på krydstogtskib

Krydstogtskibet “Majestic Princess” med 4.600 passagerer og besætningsmedlemmer om bord er gået i havn i Sydney, fordi 800 personer er smittet med Covid-19, rapporterer BBC. Det sender mindelser tilbage til 2020, da pandemien ramte, men heldigvis er situationen nu en anden.

“Alle sygdomstilfælde er milde eller asymptomatiske,” oplyser rederiet Carnival Australia. Besætningen hjælper de gæster, der er testet positive med private transporter og opholdssteder, så de kan fuldføre isoleringsperioden, hedder det videre.

Og i modsætning til i 2020, hvor 900 passagerer om bord på rederiets krydstogtskib Ruby Princess blev ramt af Covid-19 - med 29 dødsfald til følge - er situationen nu helt anderledes.

“Siden dengang har vi som samfund lært meget meget mere om Covid,” siger Marguerite Fitzgerald, der er direktør for Carnival Australia.

Udbruddet blev opdaget omkring halvvejs på det 12 dage lange krydstogt, der startede i New Zealand.
