| Two cases aboard Coral Discoverer

PASSENGERS aboard Coral Expeditions’ Coral Discoverer in Hobart are being held on board and tested for COVID-19 after two confirmed cases.

Premier of Tasmania Peter Gutwein said the two who tested positive have been removed from the vessel, while about 60 passengers and 30 crew members remain on board, as contact tracing continues over the next two days.

Coral has activated its COVID response plan to manage the flare-up and ensure no broader risk to the wider community.
