Passengers
to be evacuated from Antarctic cruise ship after almost 60% test positive for
coronavirus
April 8, 2020
Australian and New Zealand
passengers will be evacuated from a stricken Antarctic cruise ship Thursday,
after almost 60% of those on board tested positive for the coronavirus.
The Greg Mortimer, a cruise
liner operated by Australia's Aurora Expeditions, departed March 15 on a voyage
to Antarctica and South Georgia. Since the beginning of
April, however, the ship has been stuck off the
coast of Uruguay, after authorities refused to allow passengers to
disembark due to the risk of coronavirus.
