In the growing scandal surrounding the Ruby Princess cruise ship, New South Wales has now registered its sixth death associated with the cruise ship where passengers were allowed to disembark before receiving the results of their COVID-19 tests.
On April 8, a 62-year-old woman from Adelaide died in the Royal Adelaide Hospital’s intensive care unit, bringing the national death toll to 50. She acquired the virus while onboard the Ruby Princess, and is the second death in two days after a grandfather, Francesco “Frank” Ferraro, died on April 6.
