Ruby Princess Passengers Warned About A Deadly Infection

Passengers on the Ruby Princess cruise ship, a voyage which was responsible for 10% of all coronavirus cases in Australia after an outbreak on board, have been issued with yet another health warning – this time for tuberculosis.

The ABC reported that a person who had been a crew member on the ship was diagnosed with TB this week and is being treated in the Royal Prince Alfred hospital in Sydney.

NSW Health has issued warnings to some people who may be at risk of infection, including hospital staff, roommates, close friends and workmates, but said that passengers are at a very low risk of infection.
