Six of 48 crew members on the Al Kuwait freight ship berthed in an Australian port tested positive for the coronavirus and have been quarantined in a hotel. The 56,000 sheep meant to be the ship's cargo are being held at a feedlot near the port.
This image from a video shows a freight ship in Fremantle, Australia Tuesday, May 26, 2020. A coronavirus cluster was detected on Tuesday on the ship berthed in the Australian west coast port of Fremantle, raising questions about why local authorities weren’t alerted to the danger.
The ship’s cargo of 56,000 sheep is being held at a feedlot near the port. They were to be loaded within days and cannot be returned to farms because of quarantine restrictions, McGowan said. Agriculture Minister David Littleproud told Australian Broadcasting Corp. the ship’s master had reported “three deckhands were sick, but did not have the symptoms of COVID-19.”
“Before we start raising anxiety in the community, it’s important we get through this calmly and work through with fact and evidence,” he added.
