Detectaron un caso positivo de COVID-19 en el crucero que llegó de África

Sería un turista que manifestó los síntomas antes de llegar al país y no bajó del barco

Sanidad confundió África con Asia y habilitó el ingreso sin control de un crucero procedente de Cabo Verde

El buque “Hamburg” amarró el viernes en el puerto metropolitano. Doce horas después, las autoridades se dieron cuenta que habían cometido un error geográfico y deberían haber aplicado otro protocolo en medio del temor mundial por la nueva cepa africana de COVID-19

You couldn't make this stuff up...

“It was incredible to witness the heated discussion by telephone on the ship's command bridge, the screams of the person speaking from the shore could be heard through the cell phone of the onboard official. They consulted each other if Cape Verde was part of Asia, Africa or India. After a silence, the confirmation came: "It's Africa."

"From the "discovery" of the geographical origin of the Hamburg and considering that 12 hours had elapsed since the authorization to go ashore was issued, a desperate "hunt" began for crew members and tourists who were enjoying the tourist attractions of Buenos Aires. Aires. For example, a group of German tourists heading to Ezeiza on Saturday to board a flight back to their country was intercepted and forced to return on board."

"And the Germans descended from African cruise ships."

Crucero Hamburg: el Gobierno afirmó que se realizaron los controles, pero omitió decir que los pasajeros estuvieron 12 horas habilitados para desembarcar

La nave había obtenido la “Libre Plática”, que es la autorización para que un buque toque tierra y la gente abordo pueda bajar. Uruguay le prohibió el ingreso

Naturally with this embarrassing headline, the government are now claiming #fakenews because the person who had COVID was no longer positive for COVID when tested (an important correction which of course is positive news for everyone!). Coincidentally they failed to mention anything about the geographical SNAFU, or the fact that the passengers were allowed off the boat for 12 hours.
