Ruby Princess: quarantine failure - Duncan McNab

From Nine To Noon, 9:19 am on 4 March 2021

More than 900 passengers and crew of the luxury liner Ruby Princess caught Covid in the early months of the pandemic last year, in a super-spreader event that ended up as a massive cluster for Australia. The ship had just toured New Zealand before it returned to Sydney.

A new book written by investigative journalist Duncan McNab examines events and decisions that lead to passengers disembarking from that fateful cruise on the 19th of March, disgorging into the veins of the city's road, rail and bus network. Duncan McNab's book is The Ruby Princess - the truth behind the 21st century plague ship: how negligence and corporate greed led to death and disaster.
