A cruise ship operator has reassured the public that all passengers are in"good health" after false reports that a Norwegian Jewel ship had been placed in lockdown in Sydney Harbour due to a possible coronavirus case.
"We have no guests with any respiratory-related illness on board. The vessel remains in operation and all guests on board are in good health." "Before anyone can disembark the ship, they are going on board, screening those passengers and if all clear, everyone will come off the ship," the spokesperson said."So, that is causing a delay but the ship isn't in lockdown or anything like that."The spokesperson said that reports of a passenger being taken to hospital overnight was unrelated to the coronavirus, which is now known as COVID-19.
