smedly Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 think I'd be staying on board or the ship should have stayed off shore, there is now a risk of bringing the virus onto to the ship since it seems screening is ineffective - some very poor choices being made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrTuner Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 (edited) Welcome team - "Open your mouth and say aaaa, we'll take a swab thank you you can proceed to the quarantine station". Not easy being a Chinese tourists these days. Almost reminds me of the IOs at swampy. Edited January 30, 2020 by DrTuner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, many would be Chinese. The cruise liner is operated by Dream Line, a Hong Kong based cruise company, sailing out of two major hubs Singapore and Hong Kong. Many of the passengers book "Fly/Cruise" packages and they come from many countries, including China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
