CAPE TOWN - South Africa is holding the cruise liner MV AidAmira and a cargo vessel off Cape Town after a crew member on board one of the ships showed signs of the coronavirus, national ports operator Transnet said on Tuesday.
As of Tuesday, 85 people in South Africa have tested positive for the coronavirus, up 23 from the previous day and including eight local transmissions, the health ministry said. The local transmissions include a 2-year-old boy. Transnet said it had been established that the likely patient, a crew member on the MV Corona cargo vessel, had been on a flight with a fellow crew member and six passengers who boarded the MV AidAmira.
The MV Corona left Cape Town on March 11 but the ship’s master contacted port authorities requesting to return after the patient started to exhibit symptoms of the virus. AidAmira is one of many cruise liners plying their trade in southern Africa with Cape Town an important stop-over.
