the BANGKOK – It only took the presence of 64 cruise passengers who have just arrived from Italy, to leave in the sea – without the permit you to berth on the thai island of Phuket – a ship of the fleet on the Coast, the “Luck” on a pleasure trip with 1600 passengers and nearly 1000 crew members.
The local newspapers had reported in the morning to the statements of the head of the office of Immigration of the famous island in which the 64 – however, all coming from the south of Italy – were “suspected of having contracted the “Covid-19”, a false statement according to the captain of the “Fortuna”, which denies having reported cases of the disease, nor between the 1630 passengers of all nationalities between the on-board staff, approximately 980 people.
On the ship there were also other 167 our compatriots who had boarded, however, by the time on the same cruise and the route between Singapore, Phuket, Langkawi and Penang in Malaysia, and this had not been even mentioned in the declarations of the official thai.
In any case, the kingdom has applied for the first time, one of the more stringent standards of protection from the contagion of the virus which involves a period of compulsory quarantine for anyone coming from Italy. In the case of the “Costa Fortuna”, in view of the situation, the commander has preferred to continue on the route to the next stop planned, Penang in Malaysia, in the hope of being able to disembark passengers for a stopover. The italians are coming all of them except the 64 “suspects” that will have to carry out checks.
otherwise you may experience a situation similar to that of the ship, Westerdam, rejected by the authorities of Taiwan, Japan, the Philippines and Thailand, before being welcomed in Cambodia where they were held under observation only two passengers with symptoms of the coronavirus.
The situation in India Is this precedent that the incident today on the island of Phuket, put in the light, however, the difficulties encountered in Asia by the italians for travel of any kind. To worry the authorities of many countries of south and south east, in addition to the news of bird flu outbreak in the north of Italy, was also the recent case of the 21 tourists in the Lodigiano, travel in Rajasthan, indian, of which 16, more a local driver, were positive to the test. While our countrymen are all on the way to recovery, today India has made it known that they were identified 215 people, including those that have come in contact with the Italian delegation, the assembly to which they traveled in the medical Codogno and his wife.
their trip, which also included coach transfers, had touched the city rajasthane of Jhunjhuru, Jodhpur, Bikaner, Udaipur and Jaipur, where the doctor showed the first symptoms of the disease. The rest of the group had continued to Delhi where he was prevented to leave, and the other 14 are the results infected. All of them are now hospitalized with the controls in a clinical Gurugram on the outskirts of the capital. The case of the italians has had a certain echo in India, and during a session of parliament a deputy of the party of religious Bjp is compelled to ask for provocatively a health check on the leader of the Congress of Italian origin Sonia Gandhi and her son Rahul.
