The Ruby Princess cruise liner floats off the Sydney coast as a police investigation was launched today into how 2,700 passengers were allowed to freely disembark on March 19, when there was evidence there were cases of COVID-19 on board.
Nearly 700 passengers have so far reported having contracted the virus, while 11 others have died. It makes the Ruby Princess the largest source of COVID-19 in Australia.
Meanwhile more and more cases of the virus are appearing amongst the 1,100 stricken crew members still onboard the ship, in what is developing into a full blown humanitarian crisis.
