A Norwegian Cruise Line ship was barred from docking in Mauritius due to sanitary concerns after around 100 passengers complained of diarrhea, with 15 requiring quarantine. Health officials assessed the situation, and test results are pending. The vessel, carrying over 2,000 passengers and crew, skipped a stop at Reunion Island and arrived in Port Louis. The port authority emphasized the importance of health and safety, while Norwegian Cruise Line has yet to comment.
Mauritius prevented a Norwegian Cruise Line ship from docking at its ports due to a perceived health risk, taking samples from isolated passengers and citing the safety of both passengers and the country as the reason. The ship had experienced mild symptoms of a stomach-related illness among some passengers during a trip to South Africa. Test results from the samples are awaited, and both disembarking and boarding of passengers have been delayed.
Flash floods caused by Cyclone Belal submerged cars in Port Louis, Mauritius, leading to one death and the abandonment of about 100 vehicles. Warnings for environmental risks on the island remain in place.
