A woman from China reported with severe flu symptoms: fever, cough, and tightness – typical symptoms of the new corona virus. The authorities in the city near Rome do not take any risks and are currently taking tests to see if it is actually the corona virus. Until it is clear what is going on, the holiday makers are not allowed to leave the ship of the Costa Crociere shipping company. According to the state broadcaster there are 29 Dutch on board.

The husband of the 54-year-old Hong Kong woman has already been tested and he would not carry the virus. The couple arrived at Milan airport on January 25. Earlier this week they boarded the port of Savona. In the following days, the ship docked successively in Marseille, Barcelona and Palma de Mallorca, before arriving on Thursday in Civitavecchia, north of Rome.
“Our trip seems to turn into a nightmare,” says one of the passengers against Italian media. The shipping company expects to come with more clarity later today. The Italian Ministry of Health reports that the first tests suggest that the couple are not infected with the Wuhan virus.
