A couple of retirees from Morbihan, who was cruising on the liner Westerdam, one of whose ex-passengers tested positive for the new coronavirus, assured on Tuesday that they were "very good" but had been instructed to stay at home . "We went home on Saturday evening, we are doing very well, we are taking our temperature morning and evening, there is no problem," said Martine Fuchs, who lives in Larmor-Baden, near Lorient (Morbihan), with her husband.
"Stay at home, take our temperature, wash our hands"
Asked about the instructions given to them by the health authorities on their return to France, she replied: "We simply had a message from the Ministry of Health who told us that there might be a case and that it would be nice if we stayed at home to protect our friends, take our temperature and wash our hands. "
"The first fortnight, we could see what we wanted," she said of the cruise. "For the next thirteen days, we made circles in the water, but everything went very well, everyone remained calm," she added. Holland America, the owner of the liner Westerdam, announced Monday that it is seeking to trace some 1,200 travelers authorized to disembark in Cambodia last week despite the fear of potential contamination. On board the ship, there are still 233 passengers and 747 crew members.
