A cruise ship on which 66 of the over 2,000 people on board tested positive for COVID-19 yesterday has been sent back to Mumbai from a port in Goa, news agency PTI reported this morning. Several infected passengers refused to leave the cruise ship, Cordelia, for quarantine at a medical facility in Goa.
The infected passengers will stay on the ship, an official of a shipping agency told PTI. All the passengers were tested after a crew member was found positive on Sunday, an official said.
