Covid19SouthAfrica: Two ships under investigation for Covid-19 in Cape Town

Cape Town - Transnet National Ports Authority has confirmed two vessels in the Port of Cape Town are being held off port limits after a crew member on-board one of the vessels began to exhibit symptoms of Covid-19.

However, according to the Master and the Doctor on-board the passenger liner, the six have shown no symptoms of the virus but are in isolation and being monitored continuously. The ship was on her voyage back to the Port of Cape Town, when TNPA was informed by Port Health Cape Town that six passengers had been on the same flight as the two MV Corona crew members.

The six passengers have been evacuated and taken to the hospital for testing and thereafter will be taken to a quarantined area arranged by Port Health Officials. The rest of the passengers would remain quarantined on board until the test results for the six are received, thereafter a decision will be made based on the results.

Now we know how it feels like to lag behind in infrastructure development, burn trains, buses, steal cables and taxi violance the cumulative effect of this is we have an inadiquate public transport seystem. Corona will have a field day. Remember every action has a reaction.
