Norwegian cruise ship MS Roald Amundsen moored in Tromso, Norway, Monday, August 3. The Norway-based company that owns the ship, SeaDream Yacht Club, said the former passenger had no symptoms of the virus during the earlier voyage and had traveled home from Tromsoe on August 2. Meanwhile, the number of people on another Norwegian cruise ship who have tested positive for the virus has reached 44, nine passengers and 35 crew members, the Norwegian Institute of Public Health reported late Tuesday. The Hurtigruten cruise line halted all its cruise trips after the outbreak emerged and Norway on Monday closed its ports to cruise ships for two weeks. In Russia, a river cruise ship was detained in the city of Nizhny Novgorod on Saturday after nine crew members tested positive for the coronavirus.
