The Patricia Oldendorff arrived from Manila last week, with 10 infected crew members now in hotel quarantine and only seven left on board the vessel. Two of the crew members were being tested to see if they previously contracted the virus.
Dr Tudor Codreanu – from the WA Medical Assistance Team – said it would be “reassuring” if the serology test results were positive as it would mean there were some able-bodied sailors who could manage the situation. The ship was in need of nine sailors, as 13 were required to effectively run the vessel. Dr Codreanu reassured the public the cluster did not put the wider community at risk of infection.
