The 250 crew members of the liner do not have American visas and therefore have not been able to get off the land for a month.
Near the coast of Miami (Florida, USA) the cruise liner Carnival Elation stopped because of quarantine. 250 citizens of Ukraine are on board. This was reported by CUN on Wednesday evening, April 15.
It is noted that the Ukrainians who work on this liner were stuck on the ship due to the quarantine. They can’t go ashore either, as they’ve been working on the Bahamas so far.
The Ministry of Infrastructure reported that they ensure the return of citizens if the process was correctly implemented by other agencies. 250 Ukrainians are already working on the return.
“We can assume that the company has not fully worked out the logistics for observational activities in Ukraine. We are working on the issues, other ways, through other countries, maybe Belarus, the return of our citizens not just to Ukraine, but to their places of residence”, – explained the head of the Crisis Department of the Consular Service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maxim Kovalenko.
Recall that last week on the cruise liner Greg Mortimer COVID-19 was found in most passengers.
Earlier it was reported that the ship Diamond Princess was under quarantine. The last crew members were evacuated on March 1. In total there were 3.6 thousand people from 50 countries on the ship. The total number of ill people exceeded 600, several died.
