Crew member on cattle export ship tests positive to coronavirus in Darwin
A 25-year-old man from a recently docked international cattle export ship has tested positive for coronavirus in the Northern Territory.
Health authorities say the Diamantina livestock carrier arrived in Darwin’s East Arm Wharf from Indonesia on Sunday night.
The man was tested for coronavirus upon arrival in the city before being transported to Royal Darwin Hospital, where he remains in isolation.
The majority of the crew have gone into supervised quarantine in Howard Springs, while some are self-isolating on board the vessel.
More to come.
