MELBOURNE/SYDNEY—Carnival Corp’s troubled Ruby Princess cruise liner, the biggest single source of (Chinese Communist Party) CCP virus, commonly known as novel coronavirus, infections in Australia, docked south of Sydney on April 6 to get help for sick crew members requiring urgent medical treatment.
The Ruby Princess, now the target of a criminal investigation led by the homicide squad in the state of New South Wales (NSW), has more than 1,000 crew still on board, after passengers disembarked in mid-March without health checks.
