Burma rejected a cruise ship from docking on Tuesday over fears passengers could be infected with the new coronavirus, the latest ship to be rejected over concerns about the illness.

The Silver Spirit, a luxury liner operated by Monaco-based Silversea Cruises, last docked at the Thai island of Phuket and was scheduled to stop at Thilawa, outside Burma’s commercial capital of Yangon on Wednesday.
