Ten crew members on German-based ships slated to begin cruises in August have tested positive for COVID-19.
The AIDA-brand cruise ships are owned by Miami-based Carnival Corporation.
The crew members had recently flown to Germany from their home countries in Asia to begin working on the ships, local media reported. After testing negative in their home countries, they then tested negative again in Germany. Shortly after boarding the ships, docked in Rostock, Germany, they tested positive.
Carnival Corp. spokesperson Roger Frizzell said the company does not expect the findings will delay its launch of cruises from Germany on Aug. 5.
