When the history of Australia's experience during the #coronavirus pandemic is written, one thing will stand out in the early period - the #RubyPrincess and the major role it played in spreading the infection here. #abc730 @jason_om @aljmcdonald
Graeme Lake’s wife Karla died of #coronavirus after being a passenger on the #RubyPrincess. “This cruise has ruined us. Ruined us completely. It broke me. She went on her cruise for her birthday, so it’s really really devastating. I'm even now still struggling.” #abc730 #COVID19
NSW Health carried out tests before the #RubyPrincess left Sydney on 8 March. “I really would like to know, did we go on to a dirty ship?” Mary Beerens, who has #COVID19 and was a passenger on the cruise ship. #abc730 #coronavirusaustralia
When the #RubyPrincess returned to Sydney on 19 March more than 2,500 passengers were allowed to leave the ship but advised to self-isolate at home for 14 days. #abc730 #coronavirusaustralia #COVID19Aus
There are now 662 confirmed #COVID19 cases among #RubyPrincess passengers and at least 18 people have died. #abc730 #coronavirusaustralia
