The cruise ship is docked at Cambodia. The corona virus was diagnosed in an American passenger. That revealed itself at the airport of Kuala Lumpur, after she had disembarked for a return flight.
There were 91 Dutch people aboard the ship. Part of it is already back, part is on its way to the Netherlands and there are still dozens on board. It is not known where the Overijsselaars are at the moment.
The GGD says it has contact with the Overijsselaars, but is not allowed to tell where they are and who it is because of privacy rules.
What now?
“We check whether the passengers have been in contact with sick people and we discuss what measures are needed,” says a spokesperson for the GGD IJsselland. “If they get complaints that fit the new corona virus, they will be isolated and tested.”
It is not known whether there are Overijsselaars from the GGD Twente area on board the cruise ship. A spokesperson for the health authority said on Tuesday that at least no reports were received.
RTV Oost is looking for the Overijsselaars who were aboard the cruise ship. If you were on the ship or you know the people on the ship, please contact RTV Oost via 074-2456456 or send an e-mail to [email protected].
