Health officials in the Dominican Republic and France on
Sunday reported the first confirmed cases of the new coronavirus in the
tourist-rich Caribbean, while British cruise ship passengers who had
been trapped at sea due to virus fears were finally set to come home.
Dominican Public Health Minister Rafael Sánchez Cárdenas
said a 62-year-old Italian man had arrived in the country on Feb. 22
without showing symptoms. He was being treated in isolation at a
military hospital and “has not shown serious complications.”
France, meanwhile, reported three cases on the Caribbean
islands of Guadeloupe, the first in one of France’s overseas
territories.
The announcements came shortly before the Braemar cruise
ship, which had been denied entry to the Dominican Republic due to the
virus fears, at last found a place to dock — the Dutch territory of St.
Maarten.
