On the cruise ship that is docked at Cambodia, the corona virus was diagnosed by an American passenger. There were 91 Dutch people aboard the ship. Part of it is already back, part of it is on its way to the Netherlands and there are still five on board. It is not known where the Overijsselaars are at the moment.
The GGD says it has contact with the Overijsselaars, but is not allowed to tell where they are and who it is because of privacy rules.
What now?
“We check whether the passengers have been in contact with sick people and we discuss what measures are needed,” says a spokesperson for the GGD IJsselland. “If they get complaints that fit the new corona virus, they will be isolated and tested.”
Whether or not there were Overijsselaars from the GGD Twente area on board the cruise ship, the GGD Twente could not yet say.
RTV Oost is looking for the Overijsselaars who were aboard the cruise ship. If you were on the ship or you know the people on the ship, please contact RTV Oost via 074-2456456 or send an e-mail to [email protected].
