Passenger tested for COVID-19 suspicion

In the morning of Jujne 7, 2020, the 'Moby Drea' arrived in Cagliari with a suspected Covid-19 case on board. Before, in full compliance with the safety protocols, the temperature was measured for all passengers and nothing unusual was detected. But during the crossing one of them - a Sardinian - showed symptoms of fever, so the emergency procedures started. The captai alerted the Cagliari Coast Guard, while the company's care manager - a new figure introduced by the owner - took care of taking all containment measures. So when the ship docked, checks were carried out on the man, who was subjected to a swab, and the temperature at all the others was measured again. As a precaution, pending the outcome of the test, the passenger who felt sick was detained on board while all the others disembarked. The first medical finding excluded the hypothesis of contagion from coronavirus. But to have certainties, the response of molecular analysis was awaited.
