Passengers leaving the Ruby Princess say they were surprised by their quick disembarkation from the cruise ship in Sydney, having been warned of hold-ups for health testing.

Sharon Schofield was “surprised and shocked” by her quick exit from the vessel on March 19 after being told days earlier there would be a delay as NSW Health conducted checks for COVID-19.
