“On the liner, 30 Russians are among the passengers, and another eight Russian citizens are crew members,” the report said.
As the Italian company Costa Crociere, which owns the vessel, noted, testing a passenger of Finnish nationality and a crew member - a native of Indonesia - for coronavirus showed a positive result.
“Costa Magica arrived at the port of Fort de France (Martinique), where a Finnish guest and a crew member from Indonesia were disembarked for hospitalization, and local authorities installed the coronavirus after the tests,” the company said in a statement.
It is expected that the liner will arrive in Guadeloupe, where it will leave all the passengers who have become.
In early March, COVID-19 coronavirus infection was detected in 45 people on a cruise ship that followed the Nile from Aswan to Luxor.
