A 42-year-old Filipino man who worked on the Artania cruise ship has become the youngest person to die after contracting coronavirus in Australia.
A crew member from the coronavirus-plagued Artania cruise ship has died in a Perth hospital, taking Western Australia's toll to seven.
"My thoughts and sympathies are with his family and friends and fellow crew members in what must undoubtedly be a very difficult time for them."Five were related to cruise ships, including three from the Costa Victoria and two from the Artania. The crewman's death follows that of two people aged in their 70s who died last week, one of whom travelled onboard the Artania and another who had been overseas.
