New research reveals concerning coronavirus trend - Yahoo News Australia

Of the 217 passengers and crew on board the ship, 128 tested positive for COVID-19 after a passenger first became feverish eight days into the cruise.

The 104 make up 81 per cent of those who test positive – higher than the research which showed 50 per cent were asymptomatic in April.

A woman on board the ship tested positive to coronavirus and was suspected to have carried the "dormant" virus for almost 10 weeks before falling ill.

Six crew members on board the Al Kuwait live export ship, which is currently docked in Fremantle in Western Australia, have also tested positive to the virus.
