Covid 19 egypt records 33 new cases on cruise ship

According to recent reports, Egypt has recorded 33 new cases of COVID-19 on a cruise ship that docked in the country. The ship, which was carrying over 2,000 passengers and crew members, had been on a Mediterranean cruise when the outbreak occurred.

The Egyptian Ministry of Health and Population announced the new cases on Friday, stating that the passengers and crew members who tested positive for the virus had been isolated and were receiving medical treatment.

The cruise ship, which was identified as the "AIDAblu", had departed from the Italian port city of Civitavecchia on March 7 and was scheduled to end its voyage in the Egyptian port city of Alexandria on March 14.

However, the ship was forced to divert to the Egyptian port city of Safaga, located on the Red Sea, after several passengers and crew members began showing symptoms of COVID-19.

The Egyptian authorities have taken swift action to contain the outbreak, with health officials and medical teams being dispatched to the ship to provide medical care and testing to all passengers and crew members.

The Egyptian Ministry of Health and Population has also announced that all passengers and crew members who tested positive for COVID-19 will be quarantined for a period of 14 days, and that those who tested negative will be allowed to disembark the ship and return to their homes.

This is not the first time that a cruise ship has been affected by a COVID-19 outbreak. In recent months, several cruise ships have reported cases of the virus, including the "Diamond Princess" and the "Grand Princess", which were both quarantined in Japan and the United States, respectively.

The outbreak on the "AIDAblu" cruise ship serves as a reminder of the importance of taking precautions to prevent the spread of COVID-19, particularly in crowded and confined spaces such as cruise ships.
