JAKARTA - Hundreds of cruise passengers are immediately separated and isolated in the room cabin, after being positively infected with COVID-19, when cruise ships are only halfway through their scheduled journey.

A cruise ship with hundreds of COVID positive passengers docked in Sydney, Australia, after being hit by a wave of infections.

The Majestic Princess cruise ship was only on its 12-day journey, when the outbreak of cases was discovered, Australian Carnival President Margueriteini told reporters at a press conference on Saturday.

The ship was known to have carried about 4,600 passengers and crew at the time, according to CNN affiliate Nine News, as reported November 14.

"After mass testing of 3,300 passengers, about 800 tested positive for COVID-19, including a small number of crew members", saidTEN.

"All positive cases had mild or asymptomatic symptoms. The guests were isolated in their cabins and then separated from the uninfected guests," Princess Cruises parent company representative Briana Latter told CNN.

Cruise operators separately escorted those infected on board, and asked them to complete a five-day isolation period, an affiliate of CNN Nine News reported.

Those who tested negative were allowed to leave the ship, read a statement by the New South Wales Health Authority (NSW).

"Karnaval has advised NSW Health authorities, they are helping passengers with COVID-19 to make safety next travel arrangements," the statement added.

Latter said the outbreak aboard the Majestic Princess "represents an increase in community transmission in Australia."

Australia has seen an increase in Covid cases recently, leading to more caution than within the government.

The Ministry of Health of New South Wales recorded 19.800 new cases of COVID-19 and 22 deaths in the past week.

It is known, the Majestic Princess cruise ship has left Sydney on its next voyage to Melbourne and Tasmania.

In a subsequent statement,mengatakan Carnival Australia telah melakukan lebih dari 50 perayaan internasional dan domestik "dengan sebagian besar lebih dari 100.000 tamu tidak terffectak oleh COVID."

"However, the emergence of COVID-19 in the community means we have seen an increase in positive cases in the last three voyages," he said.

The company has implemented "the strictest and strictest measures that go beyond current guidelines", including requiring 95 percent of guests over the age of 12 to be vaccinated, as well as staff and passengers to be tested for COVID-19 before boarding the ship.

"We are to keep everyone very safe. This extends not only to take care of our guests, but also to the wider community where we operate and visit," explained Mikha.

The Majestic Princess is not Carnival's first sailing ship to be hit by the COVID-19 outbreak. At least three other ships in the company's Princess fleet, Ruby Princess, Diamond Princess, and Grand Princess, experienced an outbreak at the start of the pandemic.
