Last passengers of coronavirus-stricken cruise ship disembark in Uruguay

MONTEVIDEO – The last 14 passengers of a cruise ship struck by COVID-19 disembarked on Wednesday in Uruguay’s capital Montevideo.

The passengers, including Americans, Canadians, and Europeans, were set to take a humanitarian flight later in the day to the United States, Uruguay’s Foreign Affairs Minister Ernesto Talvi told reporters at the cruise ship terminal.

Talvi said the procedure was taking place in keeping with strict sanitary guidelines, similar to those followed on Friday, when the majority of the cruise ship passengers, from Australia and New Zealand, disembarked to take a charter flight back home.

These types of humanitarian gestures “define us as people,” said Talvi.

An 85-member crew will remain on the ship, the Greg Mortimer, docked some 20 km off the coast, as part of quarantine measures.

Once the quarantine period ends, the ship is to sail back to Spain, its final destination.

淘气的侄女 My Naughty Niece

My Naughty Niece My sister got married two years ago and now her daughter is one year old. Last week, my sister was busy and she asked me to take care of her child for half a day. I said yes without hesitation because I thought it would be very easy, but later it turned out to be wrong. My niece was moving all the time. As she was too young to walk, so she crawled everywhere, then I needed to focus my attention all the time. Once she was out of my sight, then something bad would happen.
