Health authorities are tackling a COVID-19 outbreak of more than 100 people aboard a cruise ship sailing from Brisbane to Sydney.

More than 100 passengers and staff have been infected on the Coral Princess as it sailed from Port Douglas in Far North Queensland to Brisbane – the first coronavirus outbreak for the local cruise industry since it restarted voyages.

The vessel’s operator offered refunds to the more than 2000 passengers before it sailed from Brisbane to Sydney yesterday.
