[h=1]:tiphat:‘Marco Polo’ Cruise ship with suspected coronavirus case will not now come to Limassol (Updated)[/h] By Elias Hazou
March 12, 20205 Comments8848
A cruise liner with a suspected coronavirus passenger aboard will ultimately not be stopping over at Limassol on Friday, after initial reports that it would.
Earlier, Transport Minister Yiannis Karousos had said the ship was headed for Cyprus.
“On the instructions of President Anastasiades, the cruise liner will remain in anchorage, therefore there is no question of the passengers disembarking,” Karousos had tweeted.
“Regarding the single passenger’s state of health, we are in contact with the ministry of health on how to deal with it.”
Speaking to the Cyprus Mail, Karousos said there are approximately 1,000 people on board, including passengers and crew.
“It won’t be allowed to dock at Limassol. It will remain in anchorage at sea close to the shore. No one gets off, we’re clear about that,” he said at the time.

[h=1]Grand Princess Coronavirus Cases Likely Linked To Seattle Cases[/h] Through genetic analysis of virus samples, infectious disease detectives said Friday that the coronavirus cases that appeared on the Grand Princess cruise ship are very likely traceable back to the original Seattle case that spurred the hot spot to our north — and it's therefore likely that more Bay Area cases can be traced back to the Seattle area as well.
ICYMI, genetic sequencing has already occurred on dozens of cases in Seattle that have been traced back to the 35-year-old man being called Patient Zero — though he's surely not the only Patient Zero in the American chapter of this pandemic. As Bloomberg reported, the man arrived back in the U.S. from Wuhan, China on January 15, and he went to an urgent-care facility on January 19 after feeling ill and seeing a CDC alert about the coronavirus. He was fully recovered by January 21, but during the six days in which he was apparently that region's first case of COVID-19, the highly contagious pathogen infected numerous other people, and cascaded into the outbreak they have now — with 37 deaths to date in Washington State and at least 570 cases.
The outbreak in California is clearly behind the one in Washington, and as the Mercury News reports, scientists have looked at the small mutations in virus samples from patients that were on the Grand Princess cruise ship and similarly linked them back — in all likelihood — to that first Seattle case.

[h=1]Chile quarantines 1,300 aboard two cruise ships[/h] Modified: 14/03/2020 - 19:32 Santiago (AFP)
Chile has quarantined more than 1,300 people aboard two cruise ships after an elderly Briton aboard one of them tested positive for the coronavirus, the health ministry announced Saturday.
Both ships are cruising the Chilean fjords in Patagonia.
The 85-year-old man showed symptoms of the virus after getting off the Silver Explorer ship in the far southern port of Caleta Tortel, 2,400 kilometers (1,500 miles) from Santiago.
The man was later transferred to a hospital in the city of Coyhaique where he tested positive for the virus.
"The ship is in quarantine off the port of Castro. The British citizen is in good condition but has tested positive for coronavirus," said Health Minister Jaime Manalich told a press conference.
The other ship, the Azmara Pursuit -- with 665 passengers and nearly 400 crew -- had earlier crossed into Chilean waters from the southern Argentine port of Ushuaia.
