Six nationals on board Royal Caribbean’s Enchantment of the Seas cruise ship, have tested positive for the corona virus.

The six are among 306 nationals now in quarantine on board the ship, which is docked in local waters.

The new infections bring to 123 the number of positive cases in the country.

Minister of Health, Terrence Deyalsingh said last evening the six have been taken to the Caura Hospital while the other nationals remain on board the ship.

He assured there is no threat to members of the public.

The cruise ship brought the nationals home last week.

As scores of nationals return home, the Minister said there is no need yet to be concerned about capacity.
