Taiwan will prohibit international cruise ships from docking in its ports from today onward, according to a statement form the self-governing island’s Ministry of Health.
This comes as two cruise ships remain docked and quarantined in Japan and Hong Kong, with thousands on board, after the virus was spread by infected former passengers.
The ship that is now in Hong Kong had docked and departed from Kaohsiung, Taiwan, on February 4.
It is unclear how long the ban will be in place.
