Unwelcome cruise ship docks: The Westerdam, turned away elsewhere over virus fears, has anchored off Cambodia, which is checking the health of its 2,200 passengers and crew. No known cases of the virus have been confirmed on the ship.
The MS Westerdam, owned by Holland America Line, sails off a port of Sihanoukville, Cambodia, Thursday, Feb. 13, 2020. Holland America Line said the ship has been turned away by the Philippines, Taiwan, Japan and Thailand, though its operator said no cases of the disease have been confirmed among the more than 2,200 passengers and crew.
The ship is anchored a kilometer from the main Sihanoukville port in the Gulf of Thailand and a team of health officials will conduct checks and determine the disembarkation process, Preah Sihanouk province Gov. Kouch Chamrouen told The Associated Press. She said if tests show any passengers have the disease, they’ll be allowed to get treatment in the country.
