A husband and wife from Macau were isolated in separate rooms on the Costa Smeralda after the 54-year-old woman came down with a fever and breathing difficulties on Wednesday night during a seven-day Mediterranean cruise. The couple’s preliminary results came back negative after they were tested for the SARS-like virus, which has killed at least 170 people in China and infected more than 7,700 others. There are about 750 Chinese nationals on the Smeralda, including the Macau woman, who was isolated in ship’s hospital with flu-like symptoms, and her husband, who didn’t have any signs of the virus and was in isolation as a precaution.

Holidaymakers were held on board for more than eight hours while the vessel docked at a port in Civitavecchia, north-west of Rome, on Thursday with an estimated 6,000 passengers and 1,000 crew.

Passengers, who were meant to go on a day trip to Rome, feared everyone would be forced to undergo medical screening. The ship was due to leave Civitavecchia at 7pm local time and arrive in Savona on Saturday. One crew member who disembarked the ship on Tuesday evening and travelled to Germany was sent home from work and told to stay there “until further notice”, the Mirror understands. Gaby, a passenger from Argentina who was trapped on the ship, tweeted: “Arriving in Rome on the Costa Smeralda cruise ship and they are not letting us get off the boat. “They say there is a sanitary inspection. “We have gone 3 hours without information.” She later wrote: “The captain of the Costa Smeralda says that, because of the #coronavirus, the sanitary controls in the ports will be more exhaustive.” Speaking from the vessel before the test results came back, Gaby told Mirror Online: “We are worried. We have no information. “We don’t know what will happen next or if everyone will have to be screened.” Italian passenger Filippo Rossi, 53, posted photos of “tired” travellers sat on the floor and in dining or common areas as they waited for updates.
