I post two references to recent news reports of cruise ships being used as Quarantine ships-
1)
www.nytimes.com (Oct 8th 2020)
A report in the New York Times by Gaia Pianigiani..that young 'Migrant boy dies after confinement on Italian Quarantine ship..Allegra, a cruise ship being used by Italian authorities to quarantine migrants arriving this year'. The 15yr old, from the Ivory Coast, died in hospital in Palermo after spending days on the ship. Questions are being asked if 'there are enough Dr's and medical staff on "these ships" because they host hundreds of people'. (RIP young man)

Report by- Chris Pleasance, Jack Wright, Nick ***ge, Matt Roper and Peter Allen for the Daily Mail.
'Brahim Aoussaoui, the Nice terror attacker arrived in Europe from Tunisia, via Lampedusa where he was first quarantined in a corona virus centre on the island; after five days he was then transferred to a quarantine ship, the Rhapsody, which sailed to Bari. The ship moored offshore while the migrants waited out their quarantine, 14 days from embarkation, he was released from the quarantine ship and came ashore on the 8th October..'
These are just two references to cruise ships being used for quarantine. Please read the full reports.
