It looks like Princess Cruises must have the least efficient testing, checking & reporting system as normal fit-out on all their ships.
When Ruby Princess was in NZ waters, many pax were taken ashore in Akaroa Harbour for scenic tours around Christchurch & Canterbury. The ship then cut the itinerary short and headed for Australia.
Just before arrival there it was reported they may have 3 or 4 'flu' cases on board. Princess Cruises went public the next day and claimed there were NO cases on board at all (which, in hindsight, is probably correct. The cases weren't 'flu' - they were coronavirus!).
Then today, we are told there have so far been around 26 cases of coronavirus confirmed from both passengers & crew, AFTER the 2,700 passengers were permitted to disembark, all untested! Today, 5 new coronavirus cases in ACT Canberra had been directly traced back to Ruby Princess. And it was also reported by 'The Guardian' that 158 cases of illness occurred on the ship before the pax disembarked!
When are the bumbling port and medical authorities around the world going to stop allowing un-tested people off these ships!
Thankfully, NZ is now going into lock down for four weeks (initially).
