Coronavirus: No temperature check for cruise ship passenger

From Checkpoint, 5:19 pm on 19 February 2020

A passenger who was on board the Cambodian cruise cut short by the cornavirus outbreak has arrived back in the country to find she did not need her temperature checked.

Fifteen New Zealand passengers and one crew member on board the Westerdam were cleared to disembark at the weekend.

Some asked for assistance to find flights home and so far all but three have returned to the country.

RNZ spoke to one of the cruise ship passengers shortly after she arrived at Auckland International Airport on Wednesday.
