Sydney: The ship has been docked in the Australian city of Sydney after 800 passengers on a holiday cruise tested positive for Corona. According to the BBC, there were about 4,600 passengers and crew on board the Majestic Princess cruise ship, which departed from New Zealand and arrived at Circular Quay, out of which one out of every five passengers had a corona. Marguerite Fitzgerald, president of the cruise operator Carnival Australia, said a large number of cases had begun to be detected halfway through the 12-day voyage.

After a large number of cases, there was a stir in the ship, after which it was decided to stop the ship in Sydney in a hurry. Marguerite Fitzgerald said that all cases were mild or asymptomatic. He said that ‘staff will assist all guests who have tested positive with access to private transportation and accommodation to complete the quarantine period. The ship will soon leave for Melbourne.

Let us tell you that at the beginning of 2020, at least 900 people had corona on the Ruby Princess cruise ship of this company, of which 28 died. Now again 800 people being corona positive has raised many questions.

When asked about the comparison between Majestic Princess and Ruby Princess, Fitzgerald said, “Since then, we have learned a lot as a community, there is a lot to know about Covid.” Corona cases are also increasing continuously in Australia. In New South Wales, 19,800 new cases have been reported in seven days since Friday.
