Out of 2000 samples tested from Cordelia crusie ship, 66 passengers tested positive for #COVID19
Respective collectors & MPT staff have been informed of the same.
The authorities will decide whether to allow disembarking of passengers from the ship.
The cruise liner, where the NCB busted a high-profile rave party in October last year, was carrying hordes of New Year revellers.
A medical team in PPE kits came on board to conduct RT-PCR tests of the passengers and crew members. Officials had instructed that no one should disembark from the ship before the result of the RT-PCR test was declared. The liner is anchored close to the Mormugao Port cruise terminal.
