Ship Linked To Deadly Virus Outbreak Returns To Canada

developing KYW Newsradio 1060 Jamestown 4d2d Impact 8

Teams are tracking 30 individuals who disembarked a ship on St. Helena two weeks ago, including seven Americans, due to concerns about a deadly virus. The virus has a 30-40% mortality rate but is not novel and spreads less efficiently than COVID-19, making a large global outbreak unlikely. Travelers on a ship are being referred to their rooms even without symptoms, with concern raised over those who left before a first case was confirmed. Thirty people from Saint Helena Island traveled to 12 different countries after the ship was exposed in mid-April. Approximately 200 island residents reportedly did not interact with these departing travelers. Passengers from a ship associated with a deadly hand-to-virus outbreak have disembarked, and the vessel is now en route back to Canada.
