CANBERRA – Australia insisted Friday it would not let the crew of multiple virus-stricken cruise ships into the country, slapping aside suggestions it was falling short on legal and moral obligations.
More than a dozen ships are believed to be off Australia’s coast, carrying around 15,000 crew and some experiencing outbreaks of coronavirus.
“We have issued notices to all of these ships to leave Australian waters,” Australian Border Force Commissioner Michael Outram told local media Friday. (AFP)
