A US citizen who arrived in Malaysia after disembarking in Cambodia from the MS Westerdam cruise ship has tested positive for the new coronavirus, the Malaysia Health Ministry said on Saturday. The 83-year-old American woman flew to Malaysia on Friday from Cambodia along with 144 others from the ship, said Malaysian health ministry, adding that her 85-year-old husband had tested negative. The MS Westerdam, which had 1,455 passengers and 802 crew on board, had been stranded at sea for two weeks after being turned away from five countries – the Philippines, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and Thailand – over coronavirus fears, before docking at Cambodia on Thursday.
Cambodia did it with no precautions. Japan wouldn’t do it without precautions.
A Japanese fireman, who transported Princess cruise ship passengers, has been diagnosed with virus. :(
Yes, that was known a few days ago. That’s why the passengers were then restricted to ship and the full quarantine imposed.
