17 crew members and 11 passengers must stay aboard a ship owned by the Church of Scientology following a confirmed case of measles.
Authorities in Curacao announced Saturday that 17 crew members and 11 passengers must stay aboard a ship owned by the Church of Scientology that is under quarantine following a confirmed case of measles.
Church officials have not returned messages seeking comment. According to the church's website, the ship is the home of"a religious retreat ministering the most advanced level of spiritual counseling." Gerstenbluth said the female crew member who was infected had been in Europe and arrived April 17 in Curacao with cold symptoms. Authorities said she got tested for measles, but had already left for St. Lucia by the time the results came back. Officials in Curacao then alerted the government of St. Lucia.
