Morocco Denies Entry to British Cruise Ship with COVID-19 Cases Onboard

Morocco has refused a British cruise ship to dock at the port of Tangier after detecting positive Covid-19 cases among the passengers.

About 600 tourists, including 170 Covid-19 positive cases, were on board this ship belonging to the British company "Fred Olsen" which came from the Italian city of Cagliari and was supposed to disembark at the port of Tangier, reports the site Alyaoum24.

This is not the first time that Morocco has refused a ship to dock at the port of Tangier. On June 7, the Moroccan authorities prevented the Mein Schiff Herz, a German cruise ship considered one of the largest tourist ferries in the world, from docking at the port of Tangier Medina, due to the detection of positive Covid-19 cases.
