The Ruby Princess cruise ship was assessed as "low risk" for coronavirus infections based on an outdated log of ill passengers on board, an inquiry has heard.However, the inquiry into the circumstances surrounding its arrival in Sydney has only just begunThe Carnival vessel became the largest single source of COVID-19 cases in Australia after its 2,700 passengers disembarked at Sydney's Circular Quay on March 19.
The ship's log used to make that assessment recorded 36 of the 3,795 people on board had presented to the medical centre with relevant symptoms — 0.94 per cent. As the 1 per cent threshold had not been reached, passengers were allowed to disembark at Circular Quay the next day without any teams from NSW Health boarding to ship to make assessments.
"[But] by 19 March when the ship docked, the 1 per cent level had been reached, although that data was not before the health assessment panel when their determination was made," Mr Beasley said.

Peter Dutton is not spelt 'outdated health log.'
Can the phone calls be released so we can judge how hard it was to follow the conversations? Sounds a bit 'move along, nothing to see here' to me. auspol
