26 COVID-19 cases on two ships in WA

Two crew members on separate ships in Western Australia have tested positive for COVID-19, with a crew member aboard the 'Al Messilah', which has docked in Fremantle since Sep 14, 2020, becoming the state's latest coronavirus case. The other positive crew member was from the 'Key Integrity', docked in Geraldton. The crew member from the livestock carrier was taken to Fiona Stanley Hospital for another condition and was tested for COVID-19 as a precaution, but returned a positive result. He was transported to hospital in a charter bus along with crew members from three other vessels. All crew members in the bus were wearing personal protective equipment at the time. About 52 crew members from a number of countries are believed to be on board the Al Messilah', which was scheduled to be loading stock but has now been delayed. A pilot who boarded the vessel was isolating, and health authorities were investigating whether an inspection crew boarded the ship. Another 24 crew members on the a livestock carrier have since tested positive for coronavirus, as a move to phase 5 of eased COVID-19 restrictions has again been delayed in the state. The other COVID-19 case — a crew member on board the 'Key Integrity' at Geraldton Port — remains on the ship. The crew member has remained safely isolated". The man has since recovered from COVID-19, but the captain had kept him isolated in his cabin. The ship sailed from Geraldton on Oct 18 and berthed in Fremantle on Oct 19.
