Seven crew members on board a ship anchored off Western Australia's northwest coast have tested positive to Covid-19. The seven new cases have to remain on board as they are part of a skeleton crew of nine to keep it operational. The evacuated crew members, including the two positive cases identified on Friday, are in hotel quarantine in Port Hedland. Arrangements are being made for a replacement skeleton crew to be available to allow for a deep clean of the ship. The seven new cases have not been attributed to WA's Saturday case-count but will be included in Sunday's numbers.
