Ship with 14 coronavirus cases arrived in Uusikaupunkiin
The 'Yara Nauma' with cases of Covid-19 on board arrived in Uusikaupunkiin on Aug 7, 2020. The tanker left Sillamäe in the evening of Aug 5, where it had been docked since Aug 3. and of the 21 crew members on board 14 have been diagnosed with coronavirus. Two of them, believed to be Russian and Philippines crewmen, were taken off the ship for treatment in hospital in Estonia before departure. There will be strict safety protocols in place when the ship docks and that if anyone needs extra medical assistance they will get it. The crew will stay on the ship so we will not let anyone outside the ship, and then they will unload the shipment and maximum one person will be on the ship with the full protection and all the distances to make sure no contamination. When the ship is unloaded it will continue its voyage. If there is serious case then medical authorities will take care of those. It could take up to 12 hours for the ship to be unloaded at Uusikaupunki and although the next destination is supposed to be Norway, that decision is up to the shipping company to make.
