At least 49 crew members from the Ruby Princess cruise ship have disembarked after spending more than two weeks docked at a pier in Port Kembla, New South Wales.

Of the 49 crew members, one has tested positive for the CCP virus, commonly known as the novel coronavirus, and will be quarantined in an NSW Health managed hotel for 14 days. The remaining 48 crew have tested negative, and arrangements are being made for their flights home.
