A cruise ship arriving from Cabo Verde Islands was allowed to dock in BA.by Mistake inmigración officers believed Cabo Verde was in Asia. The crew and passengers allowed to come to shore. When realized CV is in Africa passengers were ordered to go back on Board. All passengers were tested and one proved Covid Positive. Uncertain yet if it is Omicron Covid strain..!
 

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."
 
I shouldn't be laughing, this could be the death of us all, but...

Welcome to Argentina
 
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.
